Thanksgiving Recipes

The whole dinner, one recipe per dish, no ads. The plan, worked backwards from the recipes on this page:

  1. Saturday before: frozen turkey into the fridge. It thaws about 1 day per 3-4 lb, so a 10 lb bird needs 3 days.
  2. Tuesday: dry-brine the turkey. It needs 2 days in the fridge.
  3. Wednesday: pie crust and pumpkin pie; both need chilling time. Dry the bread for stuffing.
  4. Thursday, about 3 hours before dinner: turkey out of the fridge for 30 minutes, then about 1 hr 45 min in the oven for a 10 lb bird, then a 30-minute rest. The rest is when the stuffing and casseroles get the oven.
  5. Last 30 minutes: gravy from the drippings. Mashed potatoes hold up to 2 hours on warm in a slow cooker.
