Thanksgiving recipes

[Nephythys]

Given that we just moved into the new house (well, less than 2 months ago) I could not even dream of doing what Heidi is doing. Damn girl! I am floored by your efforts! That sounds amazing-

Anywho-

Turkey- what in the world do you put under the skin? I have cooked exactly ONE in my life and it was more than a decade ago. Help?

Cranberry sauce in my family must also be shaped like a can- I personally hate chunky cranberry sauce. Uck (yes Lisa, I'm a troglodyte picky eater )

Greenbean casserole- is a must have- but the beans come out of a can (couple of them- must make alot of it)

Rolls-from a bag

Pies- pumpkin, apple, cherry with whipped cream (from a plastic tub) Mom and Dad are eating out and then coming by for dessert- so I have a selection.

Stuffing- comes from a box

Gravy- comes from a mix

Mashed potatoes- here we get real- real potatoes, butter, milk, salt/pepper.....how I am going to mash them is beyond me yet...I wonder if my little mixer is up to it.

I do not own a single casserole dish. I do not own any attractive serving bowls or utensils.

So- my Thanksgiving is downright ghetto by comparison BUT- I have a new house and a family I love......anything else is just gravy.

(but I would love to know what the hell to do with my turkey)
