Instructions: Place chestnuts in pan around "Best-Ever Roasted Turkey" (see recipe) during the last hour the turkey roasts. Bake in 325 to 350 degree oven about 1 hour, turning chestnuts occasionally in turkey juices. With a slotted spoon, transfer chestnuts to a serving dish. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

This recipe yields 10 to 12 servings.

Comments: The chestnuts roast in the turkey drippings. To use fresh chestnuts, youll need about 1 1/2 pounds. Cut an X through shell on flat side. Immerse in boiling water and simmer 10 minutes. Drain, and while nuts are warm and wet, use a small knife to pull off shell and dark membrane. Or buy peeled, cooked chestnuts canned (in water), frozen, or in shelf-stable packaging.
