Roast Turkey

Double-Butter Mashed Potatoes

Cranberry Relish

Method

Roast Turkey

  1. 1

    Prepare the Turkey

    Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Remove the giblets and neck from the turkey cavity. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels. Rub the turkey inside and out with salt and pepper, and then brush with olive oil.

  2. 2

    Stuff and Roast

    Stuff the turkey with fresh sage leaves. Place the turkey in a roasting pan and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Roast for approximately 13-15 minutes per pound, basting occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 3

    Rest and Carve

    Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before carving.

Double-Butter Mashed Potatoes

  1. 4

    Prepare Potatoes

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into quarters. Boil in salted water until tender, about 20 minutes.

  2. 5

    Mash and Mix

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter and heavy cream, and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

French Beans

  1. 6

    Cook Green Beans

    Trim the ends of the green beans and blanch in boiling water for 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 7

    Sauté

    In a skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add the green beans, salt, and pepper. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes.

Sage Cornbread

  1. 8

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.

  2. 9

    Combine and Bake

    In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and melted butter. Combine wet and dry ingredients, add chopped sage, and pour into a greased baking dish. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes.

Cranberry Relish

  1. 10

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine fresh cranberries, sugar, orange zest, and orange juice. Bring to a boil.

  2. 11

    Simmer and Cool

    Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until cranberries burst. Allow to cool before serving.

Giblet Gravy

  1. 12

    Prepare Gravy Base

    In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until golden.

  2. 13

    Add Giblets and Broth

    Add chopped turkey giblets and chicken broth. Stir and simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
