The Appetizer: Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 large butternut squash
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon of honey
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• Salt and pepper to taste

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F. Cut the butternut squash in half and remove the seeds. Place it on a baking sheet, cut side down, and roast for 45 minutes. Once done, let it cool and then scoop out the flesh.

In a large pot, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until soft. Add the roasted squash, chicken or vegetable broth, honey, and cinnamon. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. Then, using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.

The Main Course: Herb-Roasted Turkey

Ingredients:

• 1 12-pound turkey
• 1 cup of butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons of rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons of sage, chopped
• 2 tablespoons of thyme, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat your oven to 325°F. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, chopped herbs, and minced garlic. Season the turkey with salt and pepper, then rub the herb butter mixture all over the turkey, including under the skin. Place the turkey in a roasting pan and cover with foil.

Roast the turkey for 3-4 hours, basting occasionally with the pan juices. Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes to let the skin crisp up. Once done, let the turkey rest for 20 minutes before carving and serving.

The Dessert: Peppermint Chocolate Trifle

Ingredients:

• 1 boxed chocolate cake mix
• 1 cup of peppermint candies, crushed
• 1 package of instant chocolate pudding
• 2 cups of cold milk
• 1 cup of whipped cream

Bake the chocolate cake according to the package instructions. Let it cool and then cut into small cubes. In a trifle dish or large glass bowl, layer the chocolate cake cubes, crushed peppermint candies, and prepared instant chocolate pudding.

In a separate bowl, beat the whipped cream until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the trifle. Garnish with more crushed peppermint candies and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
