Our best tip: Roasting the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them keeps them sweeter and less watery.
Holiday food safety: thaw turkey in the fridge, cook it to 165°F (74°C), bake stuffing in its own dish, and refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours. Use leftover turkey within 3 to 4 days or freeze it.
