cooked a very large turkey for our Thanksgiving supper… worked out well, as it meant there were lots of leftovers to have… the kids even brought containers to put them into, lol…

I roasted the turkey in my parents’ WearEver roaster which hasn’t been used for many years as we haven’t had a large bird…

it brought back many wonderful memories of meals with my family…

after dinner I started soup in the roaster because there were so many bones, lol…

finished it up with vegetables, barley, and more turkey… got the soup into containers and they are in the fridge ready for the kids to pick up… they enjoy homemade soup;-)…

since then I’ve had many meals from that dinner, including turkey and dumplings with my mom’s dumpling recipe;-)…
