We were away this christmas and had underwhelming if well intentioned (too many people / not enough oven space, too little prep and too late) food as anticipated (raw potatoes with no colour, mush sprouts, charred turkey, elderly in laws spitting food into the swede bowl before passing it to you, gravy the consistency of water with large chunks of cinder floating around 'it's caramelised onion, it's supposed to look like that').
So I was very glad to return and spend a day drinking and cooking this on our own:

Exceptional. Actually magical. Better than any turkey I've ever had from a deli. Ludicrously moist days later and I will absolutely only be doing this going forward.
Have just dusted off the sage perfect press - butter > stale bread > turkey > stuffing > cranberry > gruyere > mustard > stale bread > butter
On the side, some homemade pickles I put together last month (cabbage, gherkins, carrots) and a few wafer thin slices of the turkey.
I also did a slow bake ham for us (18 hours on about 50 degrees) which carves better than any ham I've ever done (to save oven space I typically do the nigella coke/dr pepper one).
Feeling highly accomplished at my ability to follow clear instruction set out by better people.
Giving serious thought to buying a deli slicer though.
