Virtual Thanksgiving

Does anyone deep fry turkeys anymore?

I have never had a deep fried turkey. Is it good? I always worry about fire with something like that.

I have never had a deep fried turkey as a dinner, but I have tasted it outside a Bass Pro Shop once and it was wonderful. The outside was crispy and inside was soft and juicy and cooked throughout.

I have always wanted to try it, but yeah, fire. Plus the stuff needed to do it for one meal a year is a luxury I cannot afford.

How about astronautcized turkey?

I didn't watch all of it, but man oh man she adds A LOT of salt.

This year I will make Oyster stuffing like my mom used to make, I don't care who likes it or not, it's my favorite

Oyster Stuffing

This will be our first Thanksgiving where we didn't cook a turkey in over 40 years of marriage. Going to eat with my daughter's family. If they serve green bean salad I will ignore it.

I love it, too. I also like sausage, tart apple and rice. Even made cornbread dressing once. It was meh.

Ooh the thread's been revived.

Making T day here this year. It'll just be the 2 of us, and it's a turkey that weighs nearly 17 lbs. Eh, it was the smallest one I could find that didn't cost the earth.

Mashed potatoes, various green veg, stuffing, and salad are all on the list. I've started making little hand pies in the air fryer so might do that for dessert.

we are having a small herd of people and we are serving guinea hens insted of turkey. I start brining them on Tues

lookin' forward to the slow-cooked turkey soup too...

I always look forward to Turkey sandwich's the next day.

I love having leftover turkey meat. It makes great sandwiches and can be used the way I eat tuna.

Gonna just be Nancy, her sister, and me. Nancy's other sister and her husband may make it, but they seem iffy. We are all vaccinated...including booster shots.

I always do the Thanksgiving cooking...MY FAVORITE MEAL OF THE YEAR.

Roast Turkey, giblet stuffing on the side, great turkey gravy w/healthy dose of sherry, mashed rutabaga (for Nancy). Nancy's sister will bring twice baked white potatoes in skins, baked sweet potatoes with marshmallows, maple syrup and nuts. Nancy will make coconut cream and chocolate cream pies and some cookies. I will have a huge slice of the coconut cream pie...and some eggnog with the cookies.

I usually do not make the green bean casserole, but for some reason, I have a hankering for it this year...so...

Hope everyone has a great, safe Thanksgiving.

The only part of Thanksgiving we do is Black Friday, and even that's very recent.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday; expressing gratitude is a great tradition (even with a cynical teenager). This year I will be in upstate New York with family.

Right after Thanksgiving I will be heading to my Mexico home. As I am in the process of moving to Mexico and mixing cultures, Thanksgiving is one American tradition I will be keeping.

This made me hungry and envious except for the 'giblet stuffing' (ugh). Do NOT like innards! And of COURSE you have to add something to the gravy - sherry - yum. I know this post is 2 years old, but Thxgiving is coming up for you again, so... Ours has come and gone, but we didn't do any turkey Just the two of us - we did a chicken. We only have turkey at Christmas.

BTW - Just discovered this hot tip about how to keep your brown sugar moist - you just add in one or two large marshmallows! No crumbling bread, no moldy apple slices, no dried out brown sugar bear - saw it on Youtube. Gotta love Youtube

Looking forward to the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, Mame. Gonna do the same meal...including the green bean casserole. Never thought I would like that, but it has grown on me.
