Since I’m finally hosting Thanksgiving for more than one person at my house, and the new person is my brother’s new girl, I want to impress. That means I have to cook serious, not just throwing a turkey in the oven and hoping for the best, which is what my brother would normally get.
So, to be sure, I made a menu and I invited some discriminating friends over for dinner. Instead of turkey, I made chicken, but everything else was the same. It all turned out well, minus some bird timing issues. (keep scrolling for photos of the event)
All in all, no complaints were had.
The menu:
Champagne turkey (recipe)
Sweet potato, goat cheese and parmesan galette (recipe)
Cranberry spread (recipe)
Wild mushroom stuffing (recipe)
Mashed potatoes and gravy (I wing this all the time, no recipe needed)
I meant to take photos of the prepared food, except this is as close as I got.
I learned that none of my friends know how to carve a bird.
But we sure do know how to clean our plates.
So glad to hear everything went so well!
