Have you ever cooked your turkey ahead of time?

All well and good unless you work retail and have to work until midnight the night before and be there at 4 am for Black Friday. My host cooked the turkey the Thursday prior, sliced it up and froze it. We tossed it in the oven with some other stuff to warm up. With juices and the gravy, it was just fine.

All well and good unless you or a family member works in TV. This Thanksgiving was the first in 42 years my wife and I had off. And the first in 13 years that we didn't have to be at work at 3 am on Thanksgiving AND Black Friday. Which is why we do Thanksgiving on the Saturday after and since our daughter now works in TV it will continue it appears.
