17+ Good Recipe For Thanksgiving Discover Culinary Perfection!

The Star of the Show: Roasted Turkey

Ingredients:

• 12-14 pound turkey, fresh or thawed
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat your oven to 325°F. Pat dry the turkey with paper towels and place it in a roasting pan. In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic, and herbs. Season the turkey with salt and pepper, then rub the herb butter mixture all over the turkey, including under the skin. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine and tuck the wings under the body. Cover the turkey with foil and roast for 2 1/2 hours.

Remove the foil and continue roasting for an additional 2 1/2 hours, basting the turkey with the pan juices every 30 minutes. The turkey is done when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F. Let the turkey rest for 20 minutes before carving.

Side Dishes That Will Steal the Show

Perfectly Mashed Potatoes

Peel and cut 5 pounds of potatoes into 2-inch chunks. Place them in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and let them cook for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, and salt and pepper to taste. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

Savory Herb Stuffing

Cut a loaf of day-old bread into cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl. In a skillet, melt 1/2 cup of butter and add 1 diced onion, 2 diced celery stalks, and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Cook until softened, then add 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh thyme, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary, and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh sage. Pour the mixture over the bread cubes and mix well. Add 1 cup of chicken broth and mix until the bread is moist. Transfer to a baking dish and bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes.
