Happy Turkey Day to all--

So yesterday we went to my folks--- had cornish hens and lots of veggies.
Today, honey and I are making turkey breast, stuffing, roasted butternut squash, mashed tators, fresh green beans, fresh cranberry relish, and some sort of pumpkin desert.

Turkey brine:

4 cups of cold water
1 lemon (cut into 1/8)
2 orange (cut into 1/8)
bay leaves
rosemary (fresh)
peppercorns (whole)
onion (large chopped)
cloves garlic (crushed)
brown sugar
kosher salt

bring water to a boil, add sugar and salt (stir to completely dissolve) add all other ingredients, bring to a simmer 30 minutes. Cool completely, add another 4 cups of water. Place turkey (small turkey) in brine -- 1 hour per pound. Completely rinse and pat dry --
(can double the recipe for larger turkey)

Sweet & Spicy Butternut Squash

Butternut squash (peeled/cubed)
brown sugar
cayanne pepper
butter (melted)
rosemary (fresh/chopped)
salt/pepper
walnuts or pecans

add squash to baking dish, add all ingredients except nuts -- mix and bake at 375 til tender. Stir here and there for even baking-- about 15 minutes before done, add nuts. Enjoy!!

Just wanted to share a few recipes that we do --

To your family from my family-- Be safe, eat good, and give lots of Thanks to everything!!
