Not all of us have large families, so cooking a large turkey or ham for a holiday meal is not only labor intensive, but it's impractical. When you don't live near family, or if you have a small family, a wonderful alternative for a festive meal is making a turkey roast. Turkey Roast's are much smaller and more affordable than regular turkeys, and also much easier to make. They are the perfect size for a small family, and still leave enough for leftovers the next day.
