Most places we lived didn't have turkeys so I thought there was something mystical about cooking The Bird. I used it when I cooked my first turkey. It came out over done.

Every since then I've tossed it.

If you can roast a chicken you can roast a turkey.

No Fear!

LOL! Your post reminded me of one of my favorite jokes - The Pig With a Wooden Leg:

Did a test run of sausage balls using ground Italian sausage this week. Didn’t like it. Will stick with Jimmy Dean for Thanksgiving day.

We DO have so much to be grateful for this year!!! I’ll toast to that.

I have wet brined a turkey for about 10 years with Melinda lee’s brine. Best turkeys ever. So juicy and delicious.

Have to get started by Sunday because even the fresh birds need to thaw inside a bit.

Then at least 24 hours in the brine and 24 hours dry in the pot in the fridge.

I have always wanted to try a deep fried turkey though.

Can you believe one day when I was a little girl here in SoCal on a winter day, a beautiful colorful huge bird was in our back yard?! It was a pheasant. No hunters here so we just watched it walk around.

Now that I know how they taste I do regret that. Lol.

My favorite cranberry sauce is like that. Uses raw cranberries, oranges, so good.

Definitely has that *Trump swag* :)

Couple of easy things my late father loved. He grew up with traditional meat and potatoes cooking that had German and Amish influence. He always loved when we brought “city food.”

Pepperoni Dip

- 8 oz cream cheese room temp.
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can Ro-Tel w/ green chili drained. We preferred hot.
- Pepperoni slices cut into quarters. We used around 2 cups.

Stir the cream cheese and sour cream together until blended smooth. Add the Ro-Tel and pepperoni. Serve with chips.

Shrimp Dip

Thaw and pat dry 2 cups of cooked cocktail shrimp. Spread 8oz cream cheese on bottom of serving dish. Cover with cocktail sauce. Spread the shrimp evenly over the top. Serve with crackers or toast rounds.
