Frugality has always been in my life. I spent my summers as a child with my grandma in a very very small town about 150 miles away from where I lived the rest of the year. My grandpa is/was a farmer, had cows, and a diesel mechanic. My grandma was a farmer’s wife. I learned how to garden, sew, cook, move pipe, change oil, and learned how to drive on a tractor. At home during the school year none of these tasks were put to use. We lived in a suburb of a city with nearly 50,000 people, we didn’t have a garden, we had a dishwasher, etc. So at the end of the school year I was ecstatic to get to go my grandma’s house!

The only problem is turning the turkey rightside up after you get it out of the oven.lol You need another pair of strong hands to help with that.
And once you eat all you want off your turkey, you are set for leftover turkey dishes for days.....sandwiches, tetrazzinni, turkey soup, turkey chili, turkey fajitas, etc.
