Happy Thanksgiving!
We had a little different Thanksgiving this year with just the immediate family. My sister and I had been wanting to make a Thanksgiving meal for awhile so we took this opportunity and jumped right in. Now to make things even crazier...I made the turkey! I was nervous but scoured online message boards and found the top voted recipe. It had a couple crazy things, but the main thing I needed was a meat thermometer. So I called our local chef shop and had Brian run and get it and all the rest of my list while I was at work. :)
I will admit that my mom thawed the turkey for me and took out the insides...Yuck! We brined the turkey overnight in a Home Depot bucket. Early in the morning I flipped the turkey over in the brine and let it sit a little while longer. Oh here's a tip...when flipping the turkey, keep in mind the insides will probably be full of liquid. Yep, I brined my pj's and the kitchen floor as well on Thanksgiving.
So I took the turkey over to mom's and put it in the oven and waited.

Brian also got to carve a turkey for the first time.
He had to study it for awhile :)

Mom bought a ham just in case. I guess she was nervous about my turkey, but I think everyone would agree that it was quite tasty and no one ate the ham! :)
