I love Thanksgiving. It gives me a chance to really do what I love to do... cook
I start planning and prepping early - everything is homemade and as much as possible is local. I do it all and don't let anyone bring anything other than beverages........
Here's the start:
Roasted Turkey Stock...... I don't rely on the drippings from the turkey for gravy. I always make a roasted turkey stock to use for the gravy and for the stuffing.
Carrots, onions, celery, shallot, garlic, rosemary, thyme , salt, peppercorns tossed with some olive oil
Turkey (wings, thighs, necks) with thyme, sage, marjoram, pepper, salt, garlic on racks above veggies (I ended up rearranging later)
In the Traeger... pecan & cherry...... hour of smoke and then cranked it up to start the roasting process
to be continued...........
