Turkey was yummy.

Gravy (made with stock and drippings) was good, if a bit salty.

Mashed potatoes (made by the prodigal Elise, who was sent home but did not stay there anyway) were delicious.

Stuffing was fantastic.

EVERYTHING ROCKED.

And? Best part? I did not slave away all day, I merely toiled in a manner befitting one who works for love and/or money. I did stress, but not quite as much as I had expected.

Same here. My menu was much less complicated than Thanksgiving dinner. I actually had time to sit down and rest *gasp*

Did you brine the turkey? 'Cos they don't recommend you make gravy from the drippings of a brined turkey. I take the innards & neck, cook them a long while in canned chicken/turkey stock and use that for making gravy.

Yes, I did. Why do they recommend that, and who are they?
