Thanksgiving is just around the corner so it’s time to plan our menu and go shopping. If you are planning on cooking a turkey, you will need to buy one to serve 1 lb. per person. Be sure and find the directions for the thawing time, this is very important because you want a well thawed turkey when ready to prep and bake. If you do not plan on stuffing the bird, may I suggest a flavorful alternative. Rub the inside of the cavity with salt and pepper. Then I like to take a medium onion cut in half, a lemon cut in half, a stalk of celery, 2-3 sprigs of fresh Rosemary or if you prefer 3-4 sprigs of thyme and place them inside the cavity. This will all be thrown away after the bird is cooked. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and take a moment to remember all the many things we have to be Thankful for. Our Freedom, which so many people in this world do not have. The people who are living through the horrors of war. Let us be Thankful for the freedom and peace of our wonderful country. Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers. I hope your day is the best. I am sharing some wonderful desserts with you that will be the perfect finish to a wonderful meal.
