wellville thanksgiving 2014

This will be our fifth year hosting Thanksgiving in Wellville. I love this holiday! The food. The drink. The company. It's all great. i can't think of a better time spent with family and friends than this holiday.

This 22lb bird was gorgeous...and was able to feed my entire party...of 4 adequately too! Using the convection roast setting cut the cooking time on this beauty by an hour.



2014 menu
mom's roast turkey
grandma's stuffing
cauliflower gratin
brussels sprouts with bacon
garlic green beans
mashed potatoes
mom's gravy
marcus' cranberry sauce

I brought back the classics and swapped out a few sides...


And rather than making Thanksgiving patties with the leftovers, I made a 70's classic- Turkey Tetrazzini!
