What is your favorite Thanksgiving dish? Is anyone trying something new for their part of Thanksgiving dinner?

 

I am bringing my usual pumpkin bread and for a new dish to our table I am making home-made cranberry-orange relish (where is a lip-smacking smiley when ya need one? :D ).

 

I don't know which is my favorite - stuffing, turkey or the sweet potatoes.

Has anyone tried deep-frying their turkey?

 

My family has been interested in trying it (not this year), but from what I've heard, it's very delicious. Anyone ever have it?

 

As for favorite Thanksgiving dish. Sweet potatoes are a definite favorite of mine. And then there's the turkey. Probably the best food of the year comes within these next two months... :)

Yes, it is indeed excellent. You only have to be careful not to dry out the turkey, pay attention to the weight and don't overcook it.

 

I'm going to try something new and roast a turkey on the gas grill for the first time. Alton Brown and Wolfgang Puck bothhad good brine marinade recipes on their thanksgiving shows, so we're going to soak the turkey overnight in a honey and maple brine and slow roast over onions and celery and carrots with apples and aromatic spices in the body cavity.

 

As for a fav Thanksgiving sidedish, I'm partial to that French fried onion green bean casserole that for whatever reason you only eat for thanksgiving.

Good luck on that FLA - I saw that Good Eats episode and I was droooooooooooling....

Good Eats, by the way, one of my favorite shows on TV - funny, informative in more ways than one, and usually VERY drool-inducing.

My favorite T-Day food is of course, THE BIRD. And my mother-in-law makes a sweet corn casserole that is awesome!

I like how he explains the "science" side of cooking - it helps me to remember to use certain ingrediants (sp?) while cooking...
