"For me, I have to have turkey at Thanksgiving. It's the only time of the year when I'm willing to put the effort into prepping, cooking, and then carving up a giant turkey. And no, turkey isn't dry or flavorless; you've just likely had some poorly cooked turkey. I've had turkey that was succulent and packed with flavor. The key is to brine, shield the white meat, and don't overcook that thing or shove stuffing in it."
"Beyond a few big slices of turkey on my plate, I also have to have fluffy, garlic-y mashed potatoes, sweet corn, steamed but still crunchy broccoli (no cheese!), some stuffing that wasn't cooked in a turkey, and a few Hawaiian sweet rolls. No gravy needed. Salad optional. It's Thanksgiving. I'm here to load up on carbs and collapse in front of a TV."
Thanksgiving travel brings many people across the country to visit family, often combining food with obligatory gatherings. The food is the star of Thanksgiving and opinions on the perfect plate vary widely. Turkey prepared with brining, shielding the white meat, and avoiding overcooking or stuffing the bird yields succulent, flavorful meat. Preferred sides include fluffy garlic mashed potatoes, sweet corn, steamed but still crunchy broccoli without cheese, separately cooked stuffing, and Hawaiian sweet rolls. No gravy is needed and salad is optional. The emphasis is on indulging in carbs and collapsing in front of the TV afterward.
