Chicken, with the one exception of turkey when my exboyfriend’s mom made it. Her turkey was not eaten with gravy. She used pork fat, salt, garlic, and I don’t know what else, and it was cut in chunks, not thin slices. No gravy, it wasn’t meant to be eaten with gravy. It was moist, and we ate it with rice, or sometimes little baked new potatoes. It was delicious.
Her turkey was made throughout the year for parties, it wasn’t a Thanksgiving or Christmas thing, although sometimes she did make it in those holidays.
