Tip : I make this the day before I need it (usually for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner). I start it the morning and then let it refrigerate for the first round. Then I finish it off that day and let it refrigerate it overnight into the next day (Thanksgiving) until it's time to serve. It gets better as it sits in the fridge so don't worry about it being in there for 1-2 days before you are actually serving it.
