Thanksgiving 2017 food
 

We're almost a week out (realized that yesterday and can't believe it's that quick). What do you have planning for the big food day?

The wife gets a turkey every year at her new job, hams at Christmas. I'm thinking about doing my first fried turkey. I have the gear, just need to do it. Other than stuffing and mashed potatoes, no clue what else I'll make. The wife is in charge of pies - I'm sure there will be a pumpkin. I didn't get a pecan last year, so that's a must this year.

Prime rib

I did that a few years ago. Did not regret it! :thumb:

Our famous cooking bag turkey as usual.

Unfortunately, I'm going to buy it instead of cook it. I've never made it before and I don't want to ruin it for Thanksgiving. Maybe I'll practice my own over Christmas break.

If you have a probe thermometer, it's pretty easy.

Cooking it at 200 degrees makes it darn near fool proof and gives you a ton of leeway.

:hmmm: thanks, that DOES look pretty easy

This Thanksgiving will be the first time in 10 years that I am not going to the Stonewall Golf Course for their buffet. I am sad......:deevee:

Trying to find a good one here in Scottsdale

It's pretty scary cooking $100 junk of meat, but that low/slow model with a leave-in probe makes it super simple.

It's just me and the wife this year and I'm feeling totally uninspired by Thanksgiving food. Plus, that's a ton of food to cook for just 2 people. Thinking of going a totally different direction, or going out somewhere. Just have to convince the wife.

It's just me and the wife, too, but they're giving us a damn turkey.

We historically went non-traditional - steaks, lasagna, homemade pasta. We'd just plan a nice meal for the two of us and spend extra to get really good ingredients.

I was thinking lasagna, or some type of pasta, as that's somewhat of a rarity for us.

Going to parents but I'm taking the big easy over there to do the turkey. We are also making a butternut squash and green apple risotto for a side.

"The big easy"?
