I kid you not BEST turkey and flavor ever. Even the leftovers were juicy and had flavor all throughout, days later. Even read the reveiws. The only thing I changed is I did not use the cinnamon or candied ginger, and i put a little water in the bottom of the shallow pan the turkey and rack was on, so the drippings didnt smoke when it was on 500 degrees for the 30 minutes. Oh also I used chicken broth instead of vegetable stock, since I had that on hand. Honestly you won't be sorry. I cooked an 18 pound bird for 3 hours. It's the sicence behind it that makes it work every time, but you probably don't want to hear about that LOL. But trust me, you won't have dry turkey in any way and the flavor infuses throughout the whole turkey, it's also really easy.

For the sweet potatoes or yams, sure use the evap milk, works great, and if your family likes nuts, mix pecans, little bit of butter and brown sugar to make a struesel, rather than the marshamallows. I had people who HATE yams say they actually loved them. They won't eat them unless I make them like that.

Have a great holiday!
