Personal Notes:
This is the traditional Thanksgiving turkey that we have served since our first Thanksgiving as a family, and was the recipe I grew up with for decades. A favorite story we still laugh about is the day before Thanksgiving when Dad called me at work and I attempted to describe how to "fold wings behind the shoulder joints" over the phone. Not as easy as it sounds!
