Mea's Baked Turkey
What is Thanksgiving without turkey and all the goodies on the side? We have always had a traditional Thanksgiving lunch at my grandmother's house as long as I can remember. I'm not super big on turkey, I'd rather have all the side dishes, but my Mea's turkey is super juicy and has lots of flavor. I always take a bite of turkey and then a bite of canned cranberry sauce all together and it has to be canned cranberry!
