Alright this post is for all you seasoned chefs, ok or for all you who have done thanksgiving countless times, I need your advice this year. I'm making the thanksgiving feast this year for the first time (Tim volunteered me!! surprise surprise), but i'll be honest I'm kind of excited about it, because I love to cook and well because I love good food! I know you're probably reading this and thinking sure you are now, just wait! You are probably right! So I am writing this post to get your advice and tips on making this day a success. My parents and Tim's parents are joining us along with grandma sister, brother in law and his girlfriend, so it will be a full house. Now the main thing on my mind right now is questions about the food:
1. Do you recommend brining the Turkey?
2. I've always wanted to have the Turkey presented on the table. Growing up we always carved it in the kitchen and brought it out on a platter. Do you have any tips on carving it at the table or should I just swap that idea?
3. What dishes do you recommend making ahead of time like the day before?
4. Do you have any tips for keeping everything hot?
5. When should I begin to cook the 15lb Turkey do I really need to wake up at 5am for that?
Any advice you can give me will be so appreciated I would love to hear your tips and tricks!!!
