Thanksgiving 2009

We had Thanksgiving Dinner at our house this year. Ron decided to try some recipes from Sunset Magazine, so we had a Modern Thanksgiving Dinner. Jennie and Amber each had a couple recipes to make and we did the rest. We had a day filled with cooking. Here is Amber getting her fingerling potatoes ready for grilling.
Ron is preparing the Grilled Butterflied Turkey. This is a first for us. Other than it taking longer to cook than it said, it tasted pretty good!

This is Gary the Turkey. Jerad got him as a white elephant gift at a work party, but he has ended up on our Thanksgiving table. We think he is pretty nice.

Here is the end result: Grilled butterflied turkey with rosemary dressing, Pancetta sourdough and apple stuffing, Chile-roasted acorn squash, Sauteed spinach with crispy shallots, Grilled fingerling potatoes with dill. What you can't see is the Asian pear salaad with pecans and the Pumpkin pie and Pumpkin bars. Mmmmmmmm....

Jennifer and Ron in the buffet line. Eat up!!
