You just gotta have something to sop up all that gravy and goodness on your plate, and what better to do that with, than a good "Herb Crescent Rolls"
This is one of my brother's favorite parts of the meal. He could eat a dozen or two. He eats them so fast he can't even hear people talking to him, "he's like a dog on a bone." Let me just tell ya there ain't nothin' as good as a hot yeasty, buttery, salty, tender roll. So don't walk to the kitchen to make these--RUN!!!! If there are any left and I don't think there will be you can make a turkey and dressing sandwich later that day.
