Yes I Am Going To Make A Turkey For Thanksgiving!




I am so very excited about cooking a turkey for Thanksgiving!

I bought my turkey over the weekend and it's in the freezer right now! It's a ten-pound turkey which will be more than enough for Thanksgiving Day!

A few years back I blogged about making a turkey for the first time. I don't think I made one last year but this year I am going to be making one!

Since I haven't done it a lot I'm still going by the instructions that I have gotten by watching cooking shows. I still have the notes and will be following them to the letter!

I will definitely let you know how it turns out!








Thanksgiving Update!

My turkey came out excellent! It was nice and juicy and as of December 15th the turkey is now down to the bone - which I'm now using to make turkey stew and turkey soup!

Yes, I Am Going To Make A Turkey On & For Thanksgiving!

Yes, I plan to make a turkey for Thanksgiving! - LOL!

I'm still quite in love with the turkey that I made last year because it came out so great! I was sad to see it go!

I didn't have hardly any experience with making a turkey but I wanted to do so so badly so what I did was watch some of the cooking shows and take notes. I watched both Rachel Ray and Emeril's Thanksgiving-related cooking shows to get ideas and help! I'm glad that I watched those shows because they gave (and showed) me a lot of good things to do!

I haven't yet bought my turkey for this Thanksgiving yet but hope to do so by next week! My local grocery store is having a promotion where you'll get a free Thanksgiving turkey if you buy a certain dollar amount of groceries!

The timing of buying everything gets me kind of stressed because I don't want to buy the produce and vegetable too early! Have you ever been at the supermarket just a few days before Thanksgiving? It's a crazy time!

I plan on having a Thanksgiving turkey, along with stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beens, rolls and sweet potatoe pie! I'm not too much a fan of gravy but it seems easy to make so I may try to make some. I have never been a fan of cranberry sauce!

I just would like to take the whole day and spend it first by preparing my turkey and watching the Thanksgiving parade on TV.



Update!

I did manage to have everything that I mentioned above!

I I bought my turkey the day before Thanksgiving but I had a great time! Yes the supermarket was crowded and yes there were a lot of people shopping on the day before Thanksgiving but everybody seemed to be in a good and friendly mood! (Although I have to mention that I couldn't wait to get home and relax!)
