Roasted Garlic, Sour Cream & Chive Mashed Potatoes

Herb Roasted Turkey with Roasted Garlic-Sour Cream & Chive Mashed Potatoes…. this is the meal that my dear sweet mother requested for Mother’s Day!

I asked her what meal she considered to be a special treat and she responded, “a roast turkey dinner with mashed potatoes.” Growing up, her family only had turkey at Christmas, and she wished that she could have had it for her May 15th birthday as well. Since mashed potatoes are her favourite food (year-round), they were a must have.
