I put several small turkey breasts in my roaster and in about 2 hours they are done. I buy the other basic sides pre made from a caterer All I have to do is pop in oven to reheat. Put in pretty dish and serve. It's my holiday too so why should I be in the kitchen? When my kids were home I cooked daily, so being in the kitchen is not my idea of a holiday. I use all disposable dishware too. The pretty kind used at weddings I truly hate after meal clean up so try to not make any.
