*Thanksgiving Turkey Lessons

For Thanksgiving 2021, I purchased an 18 lb. Diestal Turkey from the Nugget, but Raley's in Galt has them as well.  I bought it on Sunday, 5 days ahead.  Next time just buy one a couple days ahead so I don't have to keep the frig so cold. We cooked it the full 4 hours.

 

I used the herb butter all over it, and it was a very nice brown.  Next year, get a thermometer we an leave in there, or cut it open earlier.  I put lemons, oranges and onions with the 3 herbs inside. Sage, rosemary and thyme.

 

Served with the orange/cranberry sauce I make.

 

Christina said I should serve stuffing, so I ran out and bought ready made stuffing.

 

Tibbetts brought their mashed potatoes in a casserole dish, but a crockpot would be useful to keep them warm as well.

 

Monica brought carrots and green beans already cooked and they were kept warm on the barbeque.

 

I made Chocolate Pecan Pie (Cook's magazine) for dessert!
