No such thing as a small turkey dinner.....

I am here to tell you that having a Thanksgiving/Christmas turkey dinner for a large number of people only take a couple of hours longer to make than a tiny, small, "quick" turkey dinner for one!

I had made the decision to stay at home alone this Thanksgiving so as not to run the risk of running into a person/child with a bug, this close to my surgery.  I bought a little 6 pound turkey breast.  It cooked in a little over 2 hours.  I made stuffing.  Still took as long to make a smaller batch as to do the larger batch.  The only difference is that it cooked faster.... which also threw off my timing.  I made mashed potatoes from scratch.  I used the pressure cooker, so it did take a shorter time to cook and the potatoes were not soggy, but I still had to mash them.

So, there is no such thing as a homemade turkey dinner that is less complicated than a big one.  Next time I want a fast turkey dinner I will buy a TV dinner or have it catered.
