Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | Anybody want to give me pointers on how to cook? :)
Only cooking for four people, but I have to do a turkey and a ham because I want a ham, and hubbys parents will moan and groan about not having a traditional turkey (I'm very untraditional). I got small ones of each, and we are planning on checking with local churches tomorrow to see if we can make plates to take to anyone in our town.
Anybody have really good recipes for home made stuffing? I have a few I can use but want to see if anyone else has better ones. I am attempting a raspberry glaze for the ham. And I have absolutely NO IDEA what to do with a turkey. Last year we did nothing for thanksgiving (hubby worked), the year before I did a duck, year before he was deployed, and the year before that we lived in two different states :).
Also, anyone got a good sweet potato recipe? Just enough for two people since I won't eat any. |

Location: Oz, Kansas | Buy a turkey breast & put it in the crock pot for 8 hours do the same with a small ham badabing badaboom & your done, except for the sides.
Since ham is precooked it will only take about 4-5 hours on low setting.

Location: Displaced Iowegian | Buy one of the baking bags for the turkey...you can't go wrong with it and it will have the times to cook, etc.......When I was doing two meats for TD, I have actually cooked the turkey the day before, sliced it off and put it in another roasting bag with lots of juice over it and reheated it on TD. I also make my mashed potatoes the day before. Make a regular batch of mashed potatoes but throw in about 4 oz of cream cheese (and I add a little garlic powder). Put in a buttered casserole dish and heat in the oven on TD.

Yes I have used them before & they aren't too difficult. If you don't want a lot of leftovers you can do the turkey breast. It is yummy & very moist in the crock pot & frees up the oven for other baking.
For sweet potatoes I get 5-6 potatoes, boil, peel, slice spread out in 9 x 13 baking pan, cut up a stick up butter & spread out throughout the pan, drizzle a lot of brown sugar over the top, bake for about 30 mins on 350 & then last 3-5 add marshmallows on top. It is yummy gooey goodness. |

Yes, they are called roasting bags....you can use them for any kinds of meat. I added more to my post above...... |

That sounds good! I thought about doing the turkey the day before so i wasn't trying to do both the same day. They are both smaller but still. |

It's the only way I will do a turkey. They have the directions on the bag and they say to slice and put celery in the bag with the Turkey and it does make for a moist Turkey.
Of course you put the Turkey in the bag in a big roasting pan. |

| I remember my first turkey....
Easiest thing to do was just rub the turkey all over with butter, salt, and pepper. I think I put some chicken broth in the bottom of the roasting pan too? Covered the turkey in foil, had a little opening at the top, then every hour I would suck up the drippings and drip them back all over the turkey.
Cooked at 325 until meat thermometer on the thick part of the thigh read 165.
The last thirty minutes I took the foil off to crisp the skin up a bit.
Came out fine! |

| Think simple and delicious and quick ...
Look for a couple of cans of sweet potato/yams in chunks or whole in the canned goods with heavy syrup ...
Spray your cooking dish with pam .... put yams in the oven ... heat them up ... then put a thick layer of mini marshmallows on top and put back in oven to brown just a little bit ..
THEN SERVE ...
this is a huge can of yams so you can see what to buy .... http://www.webstaurantstore.com/bruces-whole-sweet-potatoes-in-heav...

Once the turkey is thawed i rinse it in warm water.... slather it with butter.... remove the bag in the but and put in, two oranges quarted, sage salt a stick of butter and poultry seasoning. on the outside i use poultry seasoning and the butter that has been slathered it usually sticks to. wrap in the baking bag and add a meat thermomator in the breast but not up to the bone. when the turkey has reached the optimum temp its done. i would then put in the ham. couple sides on the stove, dressing in the crockpot and salad in the fridge. wha lah you are good for Thanksgiving. |

I totally agree with this. It's one of our family favorites. I also add a heavy cream and cinnamon to mine. Also, do yourself a favor and just buy some canned yams. (unless you already bought fresh ones) It takes the step of peeling and boiling out and they're just as good.
edited to add: We cover the entire casserole dish with marshmallows and put it back in the oven until golden brown. Can you tell we have a sweet tooth?!

I tried to broil my marshmallows to make them crunchy once & those little buggers caught fire. Luckily I was able to just peel them off & start over. Keep a close eye on it after you apply marshmallows. |

I think it's a 10 or a 12 pound turkey, and yes it's the smallest one I could find that wasn't frozen. I hate frozen. That's why after we are done we are going to take leftovers to ppl that need some kind thoughts.
When should I put it in the oven if I want to eat around 4 or 5pm? |

At 325 degrees that turkey will take at least 3 hours if not 4. But I have never cooked a turkey in the bag. |

Location: Finally horseback again.... | I actually use an Tony's( however you spell the last name) spice and butter injectable marinade in turkey and chickens. They are super juicy and have a great flavor. You inject with a needle and bid syringe, then bag in bake.
Look up sweet potato souffle on allrecipe.com, easy easy and SOOO good.
It is topped with walnuts and cocnut with flour and brown sugar. tastes like a desert instead of a side dish.
As far as a raspberry glaze, very easy. If you put berries in a saucepan with small amount of water, heat till they start coming apart. Strain and put juice back in pan, add granulated sugar and corn starch simmer till thick. I make this for my cheesecakes and it is wonderful. Usually takes about 1/2 cup of sugar and a tablespoon of cornstarch.

| We have a large electric smoker; best investment ever!!! The turkey is never dry and very good, the ham is to die for! It's so easy to cook with as you just put the meat on there and pretty much forget about it other than checking to make sure it still has fluids in the bottom. |

Location: Alberta, Canada | I love the stuffing recipe below, and now seem to "personalize it" with whatever suits me that day. The sausage and the apple are very complimentary flavors....
Cubed Bread (white/Brown/Whole grain - whatever they have.....)
1/2 pound butter
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2-2 1/2 cups turkey or chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon pepper
5-8 slices breakfast sausage
1 Apple (Cut up into cubes)
Melt the butter, lightly cook the celery and onion. In a separate pan, cook the breakfast sausage and cut up into small pieces. Mix everything together in a big bowl, slowly adding the broth until it is slightly moist. Bake or put in the slow cooker. (I stuff my turkey too)

reminder to self......one of the worst days to shop at Walmart is the day before thanksgiving. I typically stay away from Walmart and use our PX, commissary, and local places. But the in laws insist Walmart is the place to be. I am sitting in the car while they fend for themselves. I spent about half an hour just walking around thanking employees and wishing them a happy thanksgiving. Even got two hugs out of it |

Years ago, before the "bag", we all cooked our turkey in brown grocery bags. Put the bird on a roasting pan and stuffed every thing in a brown paper bag and pinned it closed or used another bag to cover what stuck out. |

The recommend this grilling persons methods and I believe them. I don't have the items to smoke the turkey, but I'm soaking it in their brine recipe (or will be as soon as it cools off). I bet it will be good!
Also homemade mac and cheese- who doesn't love that. Noodles, pack of shredded cheese and stick of butter. Salt and Pepper. Basic and can't go wrong. |

| Probably a little late, but I'm up cleaning and doing the final prep stuff so tomorrow will go as smoothly as possible :) The absolute best way I have found to do a turkey is this way:
1.)Take a pound of softened butter put it in a bowl and add about a third to a half container of poultry seasoning and then whip it with a mixer.
2.)Then roll out a sheet of waxed paper and plop all of the butter in the middle, use the paper to roll your butter into a log and put it in the fridge. I usually do this the night before because the butter needs to harden.
3.)Take your turkey out of the packaging and rinse the whole thing inside and out, DO NOT FORGET TO TAKE THE BAG OF GOODIES OUT!!!
4.)Pat the turkey dry with paper towels and separate the skin from the meat.
5.) remove your butter from the fridge and cut it into 1/4 inch "coins"
6.) Place all of these coins under the skin of the bird, and rub any leftovers on the outside.
7.) put the turkey in the oven bag, follow the directions and you will have the BEST, juiciest, arteries slamming shut, heart attack inducing turkey you have EVER tasted!!!
I hope you have a fantastic thanksgiving missroselee!!!! And everyone else on BHW!!! |

Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | So my mother in law and father in law did their ****dest to ruin Thanksgiving for everyone. We only live 20 minutes apart now. Yes his mom used to live with us until his dad decided to come visit and NOT leave, and personal issues arose with him mom trying to cause trouble between us, so they got told to move out. His parents have never liked me, have forever talked poorly about me to everyone else, but in despite of it all I have always done my best to help take care of them and make sure they have everything they need. I would never make my husband feel like he's married to someone who doesn't care. I do care, I don't have to always like them, but I do care.
They REFUSED to come to the house for dinner. I knew they would. Two days ago we let them know what all we purchased to cook, including a Turkey for them (I wanted a ham but knew they wanted a turkey), and we made plans. Yesterday I had to take them shopping and I noticed they bought a turkey, so I knew they were going to pull this. I just hate that my husband pays the price for it in the end. I just hope I can make up for it by doing everything I can to make him smile.
Anyways, everything turned out awesome!!!! I did the bag thing with the turkey and put the oranges in it. I did a homemade raspberry glaze for the ham and it was beyond delicious!!! I used frozen raspberries, thawed, white cooking wine, and corn starch.
We ended up going to a friends house, taking all our food with us, and had an awesome time! We didn't know they weren't doing anything for thanksgiving so it worked out awesome...and we scored a home made pumpkin pie!! |

I guess that's what they did. i really don't know. I have a feeling they invited other family members up for saturday because she asked what hubby was doing on saturday. He has to work CQ duty (24 hour duty) that day. |
