Turkey for me and turkey for you..

Inspired by the entire feast, I am really looking forward to the day I can host Thanksgiving! This year my mom and sister came to visit and my cousin hosted. We always have gumbo and turkey on the menu for this holiday but aside from that each year I enjoy an assortment of "accent dishes". Along with our turkey and gumbo this year, we enjoyed a kale and cornbread stuffing, spinach and artichoke casserole, sweet potato and pineapple casserole (grandma Val's recipe) and the MOST delicious gravy (courtesy of my cousin) just to name a few.

This most simply stuffed turkey was the juiciest -better than any fried turkey I've had. My little cousin seemed to enjoy the turkey, too! I realize preparing a meal of this magnitude takes much work but when I cook I tend to actually eat less of the finished product and that would have left me feeling much better at the end of this Thanksgiving Day!

That cleaned to the bone turkey leg cracks me up (and leaves me a bit nauseous)! xx
