Method

Main Course

1

Prepare the Turkey

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Remove the turkey from its packaging, and remove the innards from the cavity. Rinse the turkey under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

2

Season the Turkey

In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and rosemary. Rub this mixture all over the turkey, including under the skin and inside the cavity.

3

Roast the Turkey

Place the turkey on a roasting rack in a large roasting pan. Pour chicken broth into the bottom of the pan. Roast the turkey for about 13-15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Stuffing

4

Prepare the Stuffing

In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped celery and onion, sauté until soft. In a large bowl, combine bread cubes, sautéed veggies, sage, salt, and black pepper.

5

Moisten the Stuffing

Add chicken broth to the bread mixture, mixing well until the bread is moistened but not soggy.

6

Bake the Stuffing

Transfer the stuffing to a greased baking dish. Cover with foil and bake in the oven alongside the turkey for about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.

Side Dishes

7

Prepare the Green Beans

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the trimmed green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and plunge into ice water to stop cooking.

8

Sauté the Green Beans

In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add green beans and sliced almonds, sauté for about 5-7 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper before serving.

Dessert

9

Prepare the Pumpkin Filling

In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and evaporated milk until smooth.

10

Fill the Pie Crust

Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top.

11

Bake the Pumpkin Pie

Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 40-45 minutes until the pie is set.
