Here is a great hint to save time for Thanksgiving or Christmas if you are
cooking a Turkey.

You can precook and slice your turkey up to a month ahead. Then, on the
day; while all the side dishes are cooking; you take a roasting pan and line
it with LETTUCE. A couple of layers. Put your turkey in, you can separate
dark and white meat. Cover with another couple of layers of lettuce and put
the lid on. Put in a 325* oven while you are cooking the potatoes and veg
and reheating the gravy and stuffing. I imagine the stuffing can go in the
oven too. Usually by the time everything else is ready, and you take the
lid off the roasting pan it will be steaming and the turkey will be moist
and delicious just like fresh cooked.

This was a hint on a local TV station by the weatherman's mother who has
been doing it this way for years. And I've been watching the station as long
as he's been on there and everyone there raves about the results.
