Thanksgiving 2015 Reference

Parking this here for my reference in future years and to save me the googling.

Kenji's not mine. Mine looked pretty much like this, though.

Most of these obviously come from Kenji Lòpez-Alt at Serious Eats, whose recipes always work better than they should. If you need to know how to make pretty much anything, Googling “Kenji {name of dish}” is the best place to start.

Main Meal

Spatchcocked Roast Turkey & Gravy

Sage and Sausage Stuffing

Horrible yam goo that Kiley likes. I needed the empty can for…

Cranberry sauce — one thing I don’t like about this one is the taste of the honey in there is too much for me. Next year I’ll goof around with this one.

Garlic mashed Yukon Golds

Honey/mustard glazed baby carrots (an old Deborah Madison recipe that I’m probably making wrong at this point, but it’s how I make it.)

Dessert

Apple Pie (I put in more cinnamon that Kenji calls for), using this infallible crust technique that he developed a few years back.

Pumpkin Ice Cream
