Looks good.  We just go to Downstream Casino and have their big buffet.

Catered.  I like spending time with everyone not cooking and cleaning.  I apologize.

We're going to dress up and go to The Chateau Thanksgiving Champagne Brunch.

This year, weather permitting, it just might be deer sausage, cheese & crackers on a gravel bar.  ☺️

I am going to try smoking a turkey this year. I’ve had them smoked, but never tried it myself. I’m pretty excited to try it. We usually deep fry one. 

 

I am also making homemade apple dumplings. 🤤

I cooked several last year. One was smoked. It was my favorite.

Oh my gosh! That sounds like a fantastic idea. I may have to try that. 

If you do, brine it first, spatchcock it, and use a fruit wood to smoke it. Put lots of sage and thyme next to it as it smokes.

That is exactly what I was thinking of doing. Thanks for the tips. 

Do you have any seasonings that you think work better than others. My brother is encouraging me to use lots of lemon pepper.
