For many years Christmas stuffed turkey with leafs, made the traditional way, with minced meat.

I too am a traditionalist and I would not allow myself to experiment on such a holiday.

In the same way I did chicken (of course with a reduced quantity of products). Becomes very tasty. Of course people's tastes are different.
