I have to make stuffing, but I think I can get some kosher chicken stock and can use margarine, right?

And I will make my usual milk based gravy, but get something else for him to use.

I have cooked for him many times and he usually guides me. But we will have many, many cooks that day. I don't want him to feel uncomfortable at all and will work with him quietly that day. He has taught me a lot (and he is one of the best cooks I know - Italian born and raised).

Every kosher turkey I've ever had is dry, dry, dry..... BillyJack Nov 2012 #20

I think it may have to do with the brining, but I'm not sure. cbayer Nov 2012 #22

It depends.... The empressof all Nov 2012 #11

This may actually work out perfectly. I can prepare one as kosher and the other not. cbayer Nov 2012 #13
