Dinner time!

|
After roasting the Turkey in the oven for 3+ hours it is now ready. This is my first attempt to roast a turkey and it turns out to be very good. I actually under cooked it (not purposely) a bit so the thighs are still a little pink but the breasts are just perfect, moist tender and so juicy. Since the thighs are on the pink side we threw them on the Barbeque for maybe a few minutes. The result is a smoky and perfectly cooked piece of meat.
The side Dishes are: roasted corn with shallots and butter, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans with garlic, and rice o'roni with mushrooms. |
On the main course table we have on the right a roasted whole leg of lamb with herbs on a bed of potatoes , on the left we have the traditional roasted Turkey, and on a hot plate we had Civet de Canard (Duck's stew). |
Here is a better look at the Civet de Canard served with Bacon (for a little crunch). This year I even prepare fresh cranberry sauce from scratch. It is actually so easy to make and it tasted so good with Turkey. |
