Steven and I hosted our FIRST EVER Thanksgiving Supper at our house last week. It was a total blast and thanks to our years of Easter Dinner preparation, we were seasoned veterans at getting the table ready and prepping the food to come out at the same time.
Steven did his second turkey ever and used a Bon Appetit recipe that he says he will totally use again. The turkey was so moist and flavorful. He did a great job- it was the star of the table.

This is the before photo, getting it basted with sage butter before going into the oven.

Here is the after photo, it is golden and delicious. It was also done 30 minutes before we'd planned, so after this, Mom and I scurried into the kitchen to do the veggies, mashed taters and gravy so we could eat on time...which we did! It ended up being a wonderful dinner and I think everyone had a great time.

I am a cook's best friend- here I am doing dishes so the sink will be clean for other uses! Dad took this photo of me because he was "supervising"! :)

Mom dutifully helped us make gravy- when two people don't like gravy- they tend to not know how to make it! Grandma Rose came in too and helped out. Sorry I didn't have the fat separator thingy! We made do with some sieves and ingenuity.
Thanks for making our Turkey Day great!
Stay tuned for the entertainment recap- Our First Annual Thanksgiving Wii Bowling Tournament!
