It was the first time either of us had cooked a turkey (and a large large turkey at that - 19.3 lbs!) and stuffing so we were a bit nervous but everything turned out really well. We did a salt roasted turkey with herbs (which turned out especially well - this recipe is highly recommended!) and homemade stuffing, along with a big pan of gravy. Corey also made a really good broccoli & pancetta side dish and I made a pumpkin pie. All of our guests provided the appetizers, wine, other side dishes, desserts, etc so that was a HUGE help (thanks again, all!).
Here are some pics from our fun day.
Basting the bird...
The big bird - ready to eat!
The spread - mmm!
The 'adult' table...
The 'kid' area...
Brio made the rounds - I think he spent quality time on everyone's lap.

Happy Thanksgiving. You two did an excellent job on that turkey. It looks amazing.
Thanks guys! It was a fun day and we were happy with the turkey - glad to have finally gotten our first turkey experience out of the way so we don't have to stress about it anymore! :) Have a great long weekend. And Mike, I hope you take a nap today...you were up way too early commenting on the blog!
Tell Scotty we miss him and still don't condone underage drinking.
