Turkey Day Dinner is an easy recipe that is shelf-stable and ready to cook at home, on the road, or on the trail. To be prepared for power outages and other emergencies, seal the recipe in a glass mason jar or a mylar bag. You can add the boiling water directly to the Mylar bags, meaning no dirty dishes.
