Thanksgiving

Just some general thoughts that I am throwing here for Thanksgiving. We start apps at 2PM and then take a break and eat at 4PM followed by dessert at 6PM. Gives plenty of time for digestion and enjoyment.

• Use a kosher bird since it has already been salted for you and makes things a lot easier
• 3 lbs of turkey per cup of gravy
• 1 tbsp fat and flour per cup of gravy
• 3.5 hrs for 18lbs at 300 (https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2014/11/the-best-simple-roast-turkey-gravy-recipe.html Roughly)
• Cranberry sauce - Just use the recipe on the bag, cut the sugar in half, no need to use orange juice
