Going to my extended family's Thanksgiving with about 31 people!!! We all bring something....so there's really TOO much stuff to list here!! Of course, we have all the traditional Thanksgiving meal items, but with a lot of different other things as well....like pasta (we're Italian), Italian sausage, eggplant, etc...... And we have a ton of desserts!! I am bringing my famous cheesecake!! :p

Turkey of course…..

I threw a first-time twist today though. I simmered some Jack Daniels, chicken stock, butter, lots of butter with garlic cloves and herbs. I then soaked a cheesecloth in it and wrapped the turkey with it. The hope is that it doesn’t need basting at all with a nice, crispy skin. I will know in five hours if it worked! :muttley:

Ingredients
  • 2 quarts apple cider

  • 2 cups frozen cranberries (divided)
  • 1 apple (sliced)

If you want it more festive, Vodka works well . Enjoy everyone!!:starspin::starspin:

I put a turkey on the smoker early this morning. With that, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, au gratin potatoes, cornbread stuffing, salad, pumpkin pie.

For the game, beer-shot of crown-beer-shot of crown-beer-shot of crown-etc.

Sounds great...and if it doesn't work out, strain the excess liquid from the cheese cloth, add more bourbon and... salud
