Stuffing turkey for Thanksgiving. This year, we couldn't get one big turkey, so we stuffed two 13 pounders, one with cornbread, chicken sausage, onions, oyster mushrooms and sage and the bigger turkey we stuffed with a small cornish game hen stuffed with the cornbread sausage sage dressing. Homemade whole wheat mini-brioches were made day before and frozen overnight, then thawed before being baked on Turkey Day. Cutting butter into flour, rolling pastry rounds for apple and apricot pies. Our son sliced the apples for pie, then made his Curried Pumpkin soup for a delectable first course. Roasted turkey comes out steaming from oven covered with sage, rosemary, lavender herbs harvested from garden. Golden and deep red beets roasted in pan with turkey juices, then sliced and served. Mashed potatos, glazed cranberries, giblet gravy and red chile complete a delicious Thanksgiving dinner made by everybody in the family and enjoyed by all with lots of love, storytelling and laughter with flaky apple and apricot pies for dessert. Hope your family gatherings were blessed with love and sweet time spent together as well.
