Thanksgiving feast

A very happy Thanksgiving day to any, and all.

I did cook the turkey yesterday as I indicated I would, and it came out so well that I have decided I will make it again this way every year. Let me show you.

SO MUCH EASIER. (This is not ours, it’s Sonny’s, but ours looked just like it.
The large stock pot is for just that very thing. Making turkey stock. Then gravy.
The lusciousness in the bottom container is all of the fond from roasting the turkey, in sections, on 2 half baking sheets. A little water added, and BAM.
Green bean casserole. My favorite TDay side dish.
Stove Top turkey dressing. (I don’t stuff our turkey.)

I had to roast each section separately, but with the decreased roasting time, approximately 35 minutes per section, I was done in about 2 hours. Breasts, then legs, then wings. I forgot about the carcass, and giblets; all of which I did last, left it to cool on the stove, and put it in the fridge. Today I made the stock, but was too late for gravy, so gravy is tomorrow.

We have finished our meal, and have put everything to rest for the night, only to be warmed up, again, tomorrow. Making the turkey this way, I kid you not, was the easiest turkey I’ve ever made. I even roasted it in the Breville countertop oven, on 2 half sheet baking pans!!

Without big roasting pans, pots for this, that, and the other, my clean up was minimal, without a greasy mess. Love it. Try it next holiday.

Hope everyone had an enjoyable day. Until next time,

Stay happy, healthy, and safe. Wash, cover, and protect yourselves.

Clean up. Done in about 15 minutes.

Post script: couldn’t find the pie pans, so I have to wait to make the pumpkin pie until we do. Ugh!
