-Turkey (dry-brined recipe from SK. Turned out nice and moist)
-Butternut squash (sauteed with red onions, sraracha, maple, and black pepper
-Green bean casserole (recipe right from the can of fried onions)
-Mashed potatoes (Success! I slowly added hot milk, and used my electric mixer. The closest I have come to recreating my mom's)
-Stuffing (I used Jason's Bubbe's recipe, at his request. Left out water chestnuts, prunes and apricots as we didn't have any, but did put in diced prunes. Jason and Carter liked it)
-Dinner rolls (Jason made them from a Cook's Illustrated recipe. Awesome.)
-Gravy (Come on, that and the rolls were really my whole motivation. Used pan drippings and some Trader Joe's turkey broth. )
-Cranberry jelly right from the can, at Carter's request
-Pecan pie (also SK. I didn't love it on day one, but I was awfully full. Liked it better on day 2)
Overall, success! Carter requested more traditional sweet potatoes next time, but overall very delicious.
Here is a bad picture:
A lot of food for 3 people
