Mom Life with Adrienne

Every year for Friendsgiving I borrow my parents roaster to make our turkey. Not only does it free up the oven to cook other things, but is also makes such a moist delicious turkey. I also love that it is easy than having to bend up and lift the turkey in and out of the oven.
