Then you've never had a well cooked turkey before. When I cook, and I am the designated cook these days, I always slit the breasts and insert pats of real butter. There is an herd blend I rub all over the bird then I use an oven bag with rosemarry, quartered golden onions, quartered potatos, chopped carrots, balsamicc vinager, and olive oil. Heavenly when properly roasted and browned.Originally posted by Dauphin

Not to mention the find garlic bread crumb stuffing which you pull out of the bird.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Chicken has more flavor, but turkey's more likely to feed a family gathering. Turkey gravy beats chicken gravy though.

I hope you par cook the stuffing first.

Oh you heathen. Cook it yourself- we had a Hallowe'en party in our student house at university years ago, and had roast pumpkin seeds, pumpkin pie and pumpkin soup and pumpkin scones.The only thing that I can see being a problem finding is pumpkin pie.
We put the kibosh on the idea of a Thanksgiving celebration as well though, because we were definitely all pumpkined out.
In Victoria though, we have pumpkins all year round, rather than just an Autumnal gorge-orgy.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

In the end, everyone came up to me and said that since this matters to me, they'll put aside any animosity and celebrate my small-t thanksgiving with me. And I've outsourced some of the cooking to them to ease the burden on my poor kitchen.
So, celebrated a day early so everyone can attend, my hybrid English Sunday Roast/Canadian Thanksgiving will see nine friends and I sat down eating:
Turkey,
Stuffing
Roast Potatos
Mashed Sweet Potato
Peas, Broccoli, and other veg
Onion Gravy
and Yorkshire puddings. Just cause they're amazing if not strictly North Americano.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation.

Are you roasting it before mashing it ? Much sweeter that way, I find.
Mmm, toothsome Yorkshire puddings. Are you having them savoury or sweet, or both ?Attached FilesVive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

They've always been a stictly savoury food in my house. Most often used to hold a pool of gravy that soaks into them oh so deliciously.
The idea of roasting meat without having yorkshire puddings is nigh unthinkable to me.
