For those of us who are celebrating Thanksgiving, I thought it might be interesting to compare what everyone is making. We are celebrating T-day on Wednesday due to custody issues. So here's what I'm making:
Two turkeys: One 19 lb turkey and one 14 lb turkey
Homemade smashed potatoes
Candied yams
Green bean casserole
Corn
Homemade dinner rolls
Homemade apple pie, chocolate pie and pumpkin pie
Cranberry sauce
Gravy
Stuffing
I wrap my turkeys in food grade cheese cloth, cook upside down for the first hour, flip it then cook it right side up the rest of the way. I do not put the stuffing inside the turkey as I don't think raw juice from the meat running into the stuffing is safe (no matter what the inside temp reaches).
By the way... I was able to obtain the two turkeys, fresh, not frozen, at 68 cents per pound, instead of $1.99 per pound. I didn't have a coupon but the store manager happened to be setting the turkeys out at that time.
What's everyone else having?
