I always channel @Kim Shook when we cut up the turkey--I roasted these and made some wonderful broth. Tons in the freezer for later and made gravy out of the rest.
It was a really nice day yesterday. No rushing. Just putzing around the kitchen in my comfy clothes. Made cranberry Mandarin orange salad the day before. Why I do this is a mystery. I only eat a few bites and Ronnie hates it. But it has to be on the table or it's not Thanksgiving lol. I'll take a few more bites, move it around the fridge and then throw it out in a few days.
Deviled eggs and blue cheese stuffed olives
Green bean casserole
Trying to reduce carbs a bit I did cauliflower mashed potatoes which actually are pretty good. I refused to compromise on the gravy though and made it with flour. Just a bit. So good.
SV'd the turkey breast--it was so big I decided not to roast a quarter along with it. This was the biggest turkey I've ever seen. Anyway SV at 142.5 F for 6 hours. Perfect.
I made a pecan pie for dessert. I don't make these often but it turned out good!
I hope everyone had a great day and will enjoy the rest of the long weekend!
