[quote=Anonymous]I am enjoying my excellent thanksgiving sandwich this year and basking in a great success of a day. I also feel like I had it all organized and together and well executed. And I even had an amazingly moist turkey! 22 pounder no less so I was very anxious about it. For the turkey I think what made the difference was

1) I finally did the water brine after years of resisting because its a giant PITA

2) I cooked upside down and flipped it over instead of being too lazy to do THAT.

3) I let it sit outside the oven for a solid hour or so after coming out unmolested

I also got a turkey that was likely snacking on its last meal Monday night.

Anyway, It was I think my best turkey despite also being the biggest. We had friends from another country coming over so I think the pressure to give them a good 'first thanksgiving' was really on!

I hope all you other cooks are sitting and enjoying the fruits of your labor this afternoon! Other dishes were

- Herb stuffing with italian bread (I think adding sourdough would have been better but delicious!)
- Green bean casserole
- Corn casserole
- Sweet potato stacks 
- Cranberry (jellied and fresh salad) 
- Mashed garlic potatoes
- Raw brussel sprout salad with an orange vinaigrette
- Pearled creamed onions [/quote]
