Cypress Sun Posted November 28, 2024 Share Posted November 28, 2024 We're having my gal's 93 year old mom over for turkey and the fixins. Small, 12 lb turkey and only the three of us but it's really the only time of the year that we have turkey. I read somewhere that 31% (mol) of people don't like turkey and have something else for TG or Christmas. Happy Thanksgiving Rye and everyone else in The Saloon. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted November 28, 2024 Share Posted November 28, 2024 Mary was in Aldi earlier in in the week and every frozen turkey was gone. Another store had butter on sale but sold out. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted November 28, 2024 Share Posted November 28, 2024 Brined, spatchcocked chicken on a bed of small potatoes, onions, carrots, and celery. Also, a homemade Orange Cranberry Sauce. Walmart pumpkin pie ($2.50 on the reduced price shelf). Chicken will be seasoned after this receipt: Spicy Garlic-Butter Wings Ingredients 12 chicken wings, separated into flats (wing tips removed) and drumettes Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter 6 cloves garlic, grated Directions Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside. Arrange the wings on a paper towel-lined sheet pan and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the wings to a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add the seasoning to the wings and toss thoroughly to fully coat each wing. Place the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter with the grated garlic and salt to taste, stirring occasionally. Transfer the wings to a clean large bowl, drizzle with the garlic butter, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Return to the baking sheet and bake until nicely browned and a bit crispy, an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a platter and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately. Obviously a few modifications since it's a whole chicken (minus backbone) rather than wings. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chantry Posted November 28, 2024 Share Posted November 28, 2024 I was never a turkey fan, although I'll eat it, and 30+ years of badly cooked Thanksgiving meals by relatives has not increased my appreciation of a standard Thanksgiving dinner. My mother will come over and I will stir fry some sweet & sour chicken with white rice. I'll make enough that my mother can take some home as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted November 28, 2024 Share Posted November 28, 2024 Eating at a good friend's home. No turkey, no pumpkin anydangthing (I'm not very fond of turkey and detest pumpkins). Steak, smashed spuds, probably corn...whatever. Have a great day. Slight modification: about once a year I get a craving for a hot open faced turkey sandwich on home style white bread with peppered gravy and a side of sweet corn smothered in butter and slightly over-cooked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted November 28, 2024 Share Posted November 28, 2024 It’s been thawing in the fridge for the recommended three days. Feels like it needs another day so I’ll let it wait. So I guess you could say I’m not having turkey today. I’ll have the legs tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted November 28, 2024 Share Posted November 28, 2024 My bride is cooking an 11.25 lb turkey in her new wall oven. She is celebrating having a working kitchen after so many years. I divorced my ex 50 years ago, and she won't be attending. The reasons for the divorce have not changed over the last 50 years. Kudos to those who can share a meal with the ex and adult children. We are eating dinner by ourselves tonight. Not for lack of invitation, but that I am now on Day #7 of this nasty head cold that is going around. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted November 28, 2024 Share Posted November 28, 2024 I dearly love turkey. I could eat roasted or smoked turkey weekly. We are having a traditional Thanksgiving. Turkey, mashed potatoes & gravy, green bean casserole, corn & Italian bread. Deserts are pies - pumpkin, apple and blueberry as well as mini pecan pie type thingies. My Mom called them “Tassies”. I am smoking the 14# turkey. It’ll take about 7 hours. Here it is at 2 hours before I added more water to the pan then flipped it over and added more butter. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted November 28, 2024 Share Posted November 28, 2024 Mom was a cook at school for many years. But in truth she wasn't a very good cook. Cooked the hollady turkey to death. More like a cremation. The stuffing was half black pepper. It wasn't until I got into Mary's family that I knew what good home cooking was. Granny Green held a black belt in cooking. Their farm had milk cows and every other farm animal. Gardens and truck patches. Everything made from scratch. Granny Green past away way too soon. Mom got old and heath problems. So Mary picked up the big spoon and made the family dinner. Moist turkey. Big spread. Falks came down to eat. Dad had one quirk, he didn't say anything more than necessary while eating. Anyway, they eat like starved field hands. No complaints. The next week mom calls down and tells us not to fix dinner. To come up and eat. She had baked a turkey because "Dad likes his stuffing cooking inside the bird." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyesa Horg Posted November 28, 2024 Share Posted November 28, 2024 We picked up a pre cooked half a turkey yesterday from Hannaford. They do an excellent job with it as with their rotisserie chicken. Mashed potatoes, stuffing with sausage, and mashed butternut squash. Maybe some lima beans!! Then apple pie with ice cream. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Sloe Posted November 28, 2024 Share Posted November 28, 2024 There's going to be 11 at our meal. We are having turkey, but also having smoked brisket (imported from Iowa) and ham. A few good sides and pumpkin, cherry, and Dutch apple pie. Happy Thanksgiving, BS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty much have chicken, turkey, steaks and pork dialed in on my smoker. My next tasty test will be a cheap beef roast. If I screw it up the cost won’t be a big deal. I’ll work my way up to Prime Rib. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
