These dinner rolls are another family tradition for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. The recipe makes a lot of rolls so unless you are feeding a crowd, there is plenty to use half of the dough for cinnamon rolls and the other half for dinner rolls. Or make all of the dinner rolls and have leftover sandwiches for days (which isn’t a bad thing, either!) … I have to admit that the leftover turkey sandwiches on these rolls is one of my favorite parts about Thanksgiving.
