My parents are visiting from overseas and they are leaving on Wednesday so we decided to have our Holiday Dinner tonight. It’s been a long day and my niece ToniLyn was my sous chef today. My other neice, Sadé also helped out alot.

The Turkey!

The menu was simple:

Turkey, brined, then simple aromatics in the bird, butter under the skin
Ham, cracklin’ sugar coating
Mashed Yukon Gold Potatoes with Buttermilk and Butter
Sausage Stuffing
Gravy
Roasted Asparagus
Yams in a sweet brown sugar sauce
Lumpias – thin ground pork, water chestnuts, scallions and seasonings rolled in rice paper
Braised Brussel Sprouts

OMG! You’re right. Actually it had one of those metal clamp things and I had undone it so I could fill the cavity with aromatics. In haste of getting it into the oven, I forgot to secure the legs!! Good catch Rico!
