What can i say? One of the joys of Japan is the fine dining.
Lucky me, i got to fly home the day after Christmas and spend some of the winter holiday with my family and friends back in
California. Of course, Mom, made me a turkey.
This one's for my Japan friends who haven't had the incredible luxury of feasting on a home roasted turkey. This turkey is
small, only 13 pounds. The big ones can be up to 20 pounds!
