Lets talk turkey!

I baked 5 pumpkin pies today! my mother always mad a meat stuffing that I make now - by request of my kids! That's in baking right now too. I also made my cranberries with grated orange rind. Everything else is cut up ready to go for tomorrow.

A couple years ago I started cooking my turkey breast-side down for about 2/3 of the cooking time - then flip it over to brown & finish - it's sooooooo juicy & good that way! Thanksgiving is my favorite meal to cook. YUM!

My mom and dad do most of the cooking. This year I'm doing the mashed potatoes, deviled eggs, and an apple pie.

I use sour cream and a little butter in my mashed potatoes.

The deviled eggs are just a simple deviled eggs, nothing special.

The apple pie is just a frozen apple pie, my family isn't hard to please.

I cooked the deviled eggs and apple pie today and I'll do the mashed potatoes tomorrow at my parents house.

Sweet potatoes with streusel are done and ready to bake, rolls are baked, ready to be rewarmed, pumpkin, pecan, chocolate cream cheese, lemon cream cheese, and apple pies are done, cranberries chilling in the fridge, turkey in the brine overnight. Now im beat! Time for a good 6 hours of working at my job and ready to be done in time to finish up with potatoes, stuffing, glazed carrots, stuffed celery and Mr. Turkey! Somehow, it all feels worth it when it's over hehe.

I took the turkey out of the fridge and it is still frozen! I bought it at least 5 days ago and put it in the fridge. Its in a sink of water right now and seems to be loosening up. This happens every year, next year I will buy it 8 days ahead or something.
