rmaynard 15,461 #7 Posted November 24, 2022 We have always had the traditional 18 to 20 pound turkey. However, we have noticed that with our family, dark meat is not as popular as white, so this year I am cooking two 6.5 pound turkey breasts in the Instant Pot. 35 minutes to cook, 20 minutes to pressure release, and it's done. Downright best, most moist turkey I have ever had. 7 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,178 #8 Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) Just Edog and Mrs K here today. We are having some left over chipped venison gravy over baked spuds. Baking apple, pumpkin, pecan pies and making my maple syrup sweet taters to take to son Marks tomorrow. We found Black Friday is the only day we can get the entire clan of 24 together. Mark will be smoking two turkeys. My 97yo MIL will be bringing her killer oyster stuffing that is our traditional dish at all holiday dinners. Best Wishes to All .......Have a great Holiday with some Quality Family Time. Almost ready for tomorrows Black Friday Thanksgiving. Sweet potatoes are baked Gingerbread cake with lemon curd filling Apple pie Sho Fly Pie Opted for the Sho Fly instead of the Pecan due to one guest with a nut allergy. Cranberry Apple Sauce We'll make the two Pumpkin Pies tomorrow AM. Edited November 25, 2022 by Ed Kennell 1 3 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davem1111 2,030 #9 Posted November 24, 2022 In the past we have usually done around a 20 lb. turkey. But not this year. Daughter moved out, so it's just me, the wife, and 17 year old son. Not doing Thanksgiving today, daughter's boyfriend's mother (nurse) has to work tomorrow so our daughter is having Thanksgiving with their family today and we're having them all over tomorrow. Daughter, her boyfriend, his sister (both long time family friends) and another friend their age. We decided to go the easy route and ordered a prepared Thanksgiving meal from a local French restaurant. I'm sure it will be good, and a lot less work. The kids and us will be making some desserts and laying out a bunch of cheese, crackers, and fresh fruit as appetizers. Mostly looking forward to the time together, good food is secondary (but still important!) Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving day! 5 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
