The only real loser was the cranberry sauce. It had some flavor to it that was yuck. But I really love the old Ocean Spray cranberry jelly from the can and I have some on hand (always) so cool.
The gravy wasn't spectacular but I'm not a huge gravy person anyway. So no biggie.
Everything else was fabulous. The beans were done perfectly. The stuffing was flavorful and good. The mashed potatoes were also done very well.
I saved the butter turkey. I'm not sure for what. But, I just couldn't bring myself to cut it.
I dished up the stuffing/potatoes/turkey/beans and nuked them all together under some plastic wrap. Then I nuked the gravy and then the roll. The food came with elaborate heating instructions which I tossed. My way was way better.
It was delicious. And I have probably 6 full dinners with even more for sandwiches left over. Oh and I was too full for pie. Everything will freeze if I get tired of it before it's gone.
I totally declare this experiment a success and a holiday tradition. I may well do it again for Christmas.
