I didn't try very hard this year.
Supposed to be drinking salads.
Tradition is hard to give up.
I went very basic.
Everything Homemade.
Grilling an 11lb Turkey only took 2 hours.
I used far too much lump charcoal.
I used too much Mesquite.
Careful with that to anyone who grills using wood.
Turkey came out tender and juicy though so that's a plus.
Not good but good enough.
Grilled/Smoked Turkey
Sausage Stuffing
Mashed Potatoes
Brussels Sprouts with Garlic, Mushrooms and Red Bell Peppers
Cranberry Sauce
Turkey Gravy
Store Bought Pumpkin Buttercream Cake for something different
People, who are hooked on Traditional Pumpkin Pie, were not amused with my deviation.
Leftover cranberry sauce goes well with plain yogurt.
