We are going out of town with my husband's family for a long Thanksgiving weekend so we had Thanksgiving with my family early- on Saturday! We also fried a turkey for the first time. And not just any turkey but a local, fresh turkey! We rubbed it first with some awesome spices then cooked it for about 35-40 minutes. It was the moistest turkey I have ever eaten!! We also had yummy green beans with walnuts, goat cheese and a vinaigrette, sweet potatoes, corn pudding, mashed potatoes, squash, cranberry bourbon compote, brie and chive buttermilk biscuits and a jello salad. For dessert a pumpkin cheesecake with gingersnap/pecan crust and pecan tarts and chocolate pie. It was a feast that we enjoyed sharing with our family, who I am so thankful for!
