Is this the politically correct alternative to injecting it with
broth?

Pumpkin pie and mince pie for dessert.  Cranberry sauce, check; I'm
fairly interested in all sorts of different cranberry sauces and
relishes.  Gravy, not for me.  Potatoes, not for me (in a meal with
stuffing in it).  Sweet potatoes, traditional, but not important to
me.

And a good dry white wine.  That's crucial.  Or two, or three.
