Ham would be easier to cook, but everyone wanted turkey and my new stuffing recipe. I add so much more into my stuffing, that the stuffing outside the turkey is just as moist as the stuffing in the turkey. My sister now calls Christmas dinner crab and turkey, plus a nice bottle of Limoncello and Orangecello. Then homemade rolls, etc...no dessert, except homemade caramel, oh the Limoncello and Orangecello make up the dessert. So, good!
