Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Turkey

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Season the turkey inside and out with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs. Place the stuffing inside the cavity. Roast the turkey for about 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let it rest for 30 minutes before carving.

  2. 2

    Make Mashed Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes. Boil in salted water until tender. Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper to taste. Keep warm until serving.

  3. 3

    Prepare Gravy

    Use the turkey drippings to make gravy. In a saucepan, whisk together the drippings and flour, cooking until thickened. Add broth to reach desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Green Bean Casserole

    In a baking dish, combine green beans, cream of mushroom soup, and French fried onions. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve Cranberry Sauce

    Serve chilled or at room temperature. You can make this ahead of time.

  6. 6

    Pumpkin Pie

    Bake the pumpkin pie according to the recipe directions. Serve with whipped cream on the side.
