Thanksgiving Festivities

Thanksgiving is a fantastic holiday to sharpen the cooking skills, celebrate with family and friends and give thanks for all that you have.

Let's start with the turkey. A 26lb bird was prepared fro this year's celebration, stuffed with a mixture containing prunes, raisins, breadcrumbs and baked until tender to pull apart.

a full spread included roasted brussel sproats, green beans with onion and bacon, a honey baked ham topped with pineapple, homemade mash potatoes and sides of gravy.

and for all those that won't let anything go to waste, the neck meat of the turkey is apparently the softest and tenderest of the entire bird:

Happy thanksgiving and to all the creative leftover recreations!
