You are right - I ended up splitting between two pans. Just in the oven making the gravy slop
Hate to discard it all. I’m thinking I might make stock from it.
Shrimp looking good!
Cabbage casserole just started. Another hour on it, then moving on to sweet potato casserole and crab cakes.

Cornbread dressing is made. Rice dressing meat mixture is cooked, will add rice tomorrow. Cranberry sauce is made. Two pounds of cheese is grated for the mac and cheese. Can’t decide if I’m making the pumpkin pie next or the mac n cheese. Turkey gravy is in progress.

Did you put the jalapeños in? I think it sounds great.
Next step of gravy is rolling

Yes, I did put jalapeños. Didn’t add pecans. I think it’s tasty!
Your gravy is further along than mine. Looks great!

First burn of the night :(
Gravy is done. It’s awesome. All those who said they’re making the Bon Appétit recipe, you will love it

I’ll do the dressing in the morning, and I’ll smoke two turkeys overnight. Baked the ham this afternoon.

What did you burn?!
Mac and cheese is ready for the oven tomorrow. I will be interested to see if my son questions the mac and cheese because I strayed from tradition and used cheddar, gruyere and smoked Gouda.

Looking good LL. I finished my prep earlier. I am marinating the cook now. Hopefully, I'll get in bed at a decent hour. Big day tomorrow.

I just got done measuring where the oil level needs to be in the pot and injecting the bird while watching the SNL special. I hate the weekly show, but the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday specials are traditions.

Loaded potato casseroles, sweet potato casserole, mac and cheese, turkey all ready for tomorrow. The rest will be cooked in the morning.

The wife 'called' Thanksgiving this year so I'll just be her chopping/shredding/cutting bitch for the day. I also insisted on making dessert so I'm making pecan pie. Yeah, pretty exciting and adventurous.
I do get to cook Christmas dinner, though....so it's not all bad.
