This is the oldest of Chef Carlo's Thanksgiving threads that I have found, from 2002:

Remembering Thanksgiving Day

Another one from 2004:

Another of those Dreaded Thanksgiving Recipe Threads

And one from 2005:

The return of the dreaded 11 Commandments of a THANKSGIVING DINNER

And one of the current Thanksgiving recipe threads hosted by Jamestown1630:

Monthly Cooking Thread, Thanksgiving Edition, November 2019

All of these are slightly different and I trust that you will enjoy them today, as much as we enjoyed them almost 20 years ago.

That recipe sounds good and I may have had it when I was young. Most of my family tosses the giblets ... Hey, we aren't always the smartest!

And the thread you started is a keeper!

[texas booster]

I saw that recipe for eggnog but didn't notice until now how much that recipe makes!

A couple of gallons?!

[BipolarBob]

A couple of gallons?!

If that's not enough you can always double the recipe.

[Red Badger]

Cooking the gizzards in a pressure cooker first to tenderize them helps immensely.................

We always had giblet gravy in my family but my wife called it “gut gravy”.

[Red Badger]

whatever you call it, it’s delicious!.................

Here are a few more Thanksgiving recipe threads:

Strictly for the birds ....for your Happy Thanksgiving (2001)

The 11 Commandments of a THANKSGIVING DINNER ..Food, Fun, and recipes! (2003)

Just as you thought, it's one more of those dreaded Thanksgiving Recipe Threads (2006)

Thanksgiving Recipes by tsmith130 (2010)

And I also found several Christmas cooking threads.

Using the keyword "freeperkitchen" and adding to threads I see of interest.

I may be mistaken it IIRC, carlo3b is Cooking for God. Anybody verify this, because I get in trouble for being right.

[texas booster]

I found a website called Cooking for God aka Cooking God's Way. Is this what you are referring to?

There is no FR poster named “Cooking for God”.

The phone number for the CfG website is a Fort Worth area code. Chef Morelli lives in Houston.

One additional thing. Leave the complete mix on the back porch ( cold not freezing). This lets the ingredients “work” overnight. Next morning, oh my!

Pinging you since I mentioned a thread that you started.
