Turkey

Trying to do do a brine with a fresh bird this year.

If I had my way I wouldn't even have turkey. Just all sides.

I make the bird, gluten-free stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes and apple and pumpkin pie. I let the guests take care of the rest. The wine gets opened at ten and I'm buzzed enough by the time they arrive to tolerate them.

you know some people dont have anything to eat on thanksgiving. its pretty hypocritical of you to boast about your roast as if you are somehow better then most.

two turkeys this year. one in the oven, one on the grill. two ducks this year. one on the grill, one on the smoker (then grill). and a rabbit...not sure how were cooking that. I assume an open fire and a teepee of sticks.

Turkey, stuffing w/pork sausage and one with raisins, taters, corn, biscuits. Nothing fancy, but all quite good. We even make the dog a special little Thanksgiving plate. She eats everything, but leaves the cranberries for last.

Yep. Its then wrapped in a giant tortilla, deep fried, and served with a camelback full of gravy. Holy stromboli!

Same as Xmas, either Chinese food or a tip/link combo. I hate turkey & usually eat around 11-12ish so I can just have a small plate w/the family @ the dinner.

Mr. Reason, how do you make a gluten free stuffing? Do you use gluten free bread? We have a family member with gluten issues, so I'm curious.

I make mine out of sausage, celery, onion, schar or udis bread, imagine broth, sage, thyme, parsley,salt and pepper.


Aleia's has a pretty good packaged one too.

I will be making 2 turkeys this year, roasting one of them and smoking the other. I will also be making a ham for the guests who are not big turkey fans. Smoking the bird is by far the best way to cook it IMO. I need to make a run to the liquor store to stock up on some microbrews tomorrow.

Turkey Only. Everything else is part of the #WarOnThanksgiving

if you took the raisins, if you didn't take the raisins...

This is exactly the recipe my wife uses for gluten free stuffing.

Whole Foods has really good gluten free pie crusts too. And i found gluten free bread cubes there also. tonight.

I use a product called Chebe. It's made from tapioca starch. I get it off Amazon. They also make an outstanding pizza crust mix. It's also lower carb than grains. Which is also nice.
I add seasoning, bake up a round loaf, cut it into cubes, let it dry out and use it just as you would bread. It's really good and no one even notices.

We use Udis for sandwiches in the kids lunches. Celery is useless, right there with green peppers. I'll eat a bug before either of those.

Thanks Reason.

I've never found a bread mix that we like. I just ordered some on Amazon.

Best thing I ever got from my mother-in-law from Jersey is sausage in stuffing. Yum.
