Turkey

Cornbread Dressing

Merlot-Cranberry Relish

Mashed Potatoes

French Beans

Giblet Gravy

Method

Preparation of Turkey

  1. 1

    Roast the Turkey

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Rub the turkey breast with olive oil, salt, black pepper, thyme, and minced garlic. Place it in a roasting pan and roast for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let it rest before slicing.

Cornbread Dressing

  1. 2

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a large bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread, diced onion, diced celery, chicken broth, sage, salt, pepper, and beaten eggs. Mix well and transfer to a greased baking dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.

Merlot-Cranberry Relish

  1. 3

    Make the Relish

    In a saucepan, combine fresh cranberries, Merlot, sugar, and orange zest. Cook over medium heat until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens, about 15-20 minutes. Let it cool before serving.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 4

    Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

    Boil the peeled and cubed potatoes in salt water until tender. Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

French Beans

  1. 5

    Sauté the Beans

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add trimmed French beans, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.

Giblet Gravy

  1. 6

    Make the Gravy

    Chop the turkey giblets and cook them in a saucepan. Add flour and stir to form a roux. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, and cook until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
