Thanksgiving Dinner Special Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Turkey

   Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Rinse the turkey and pat it dry with paper towels. Rub the turkey with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme.

2. 2

   Roast the Turkey

   Place the turkey in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 13-15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the turkey with pan juices every 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

   While the turkey is roasting, boil the peeled and cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and mash until smooth and creamy.

4. 4

   Make the Cornbread Stuffing

   In a skillet, sauté chopped onion and celery until softened. In a large bowl, combine cornbread stuffing mix, sautéed vegetables, chicken broth, and dried sage. Mix well and place in a greased baking dish.

5. 5

   Bake the Stuffing

   Bake the stuffing in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.

6. 6

   Serve

   Once the turkey is done, let it rest for 20 minutes before carving. Serve with mashed potatoes and cornbread stuffing on the side.
