We have a long-standing recipe thread and turkey thread and others buried about, but let's see how everything comes together. Love getting ideas from the menu threads. Prons not required but highly encouraged and posrepped.

Prior annual threads (reverse chronological order, 2022-2018):

put the brisket on at 1030 last night aiming for a 10-11 finish and the damn thing never really stalled and went strait to 200 and was done around 6 this morning. Smoking a turkey and making mashed potatoes, stuffing, Mac and cheese, pinto beans and sweet potatoes.

Just the wife and I so the usual turkey, stuffing, taters, corn, jellied cranberry sauce, and we’re trying out the rolls from Texas Roadhouse this year, cherry & pumpkin pie. We go big on the turkey as I like to freeze a half dozen plates for tv dinners throughout the year.

Cooking for just four, so a pretty basic menu of turkey, stuffing (my mom’s from the midwest, so dressing was foreign to me growing up), brussel sprouts with bacon and balsamic, Boursin mashed potatoes, cranberries, and roasted root vegetable salad. Kicking it off with Bloody Mary’s.

Happy Thanksgiving, my dudes.

Mixed charcuterie plate with some red wine blends to open with.  Smoked whole turkey breast (Franklin BBQ style, drenched in butter), two smoked whole pork loins, one filled with sage pork sausage, one filled with Italian pork sausage, and both wrapped in bacon.  Corn pudding casserole, sweet potato casserole with bacon and pecans, garlicy green beans, yeast rolls, and home-made cranberrry sauce.  Guests are bringing dessert (and hopefully, lots of wine).

Stuffing

cranberry sauce

gravy

Baked Apple/ Cinnamon cheesecake

Various bourbons, beer, and wine.

Already had family Facetime chat from NJ/ Tokyo/ and West Texas this morning.  Christmas will be a bigger deal for us this year.  Lots to be grateful for in our lives!

Going to wife’s brother’s in half an hour.  Wife was assigned to bring her mom’s stuffing recipe. I was assigned to bring pecan pie and my mother’s biscuit recipe.  Not sure what else SIL has planned, but it is sure to be phenomenal.  She is about as good as a home cook can be - both cooking and baking.

Thanksgiving leftover quesadilla.   Made a cream cheese + cranberry sauce spread for the inside then added turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes.   Dipped the wedges in gravy.  Needed the crunch of the toasted tortilla to contrast with the stuffing/mashed potatoes inside.  Will do again.

BIL came correct with a badass pot of collards on thanksgiving.  Smoked turkey necks and some sort of hog in there.

This is how traditions are born. He is now required to bring them every year. Awesome addition to our spread.
