    Default Favorite Thanksgiving recipes?

    So this year will be the 1st Thanksgiving I'll be hosting and cooking. Need ideas to get my starting point for turkey and sides. We all like most vegetables, not picky eaters with exception of DS2.

    Love to get your favorite recipes for cooking your turkey and favorite side recipes???

    You use two different brine recipes beforehand roasting your turkey? cuz I just googled fire and flavor but Alton brown had his own brine recipe? Sorry if it's such a simple question but it'll be FIRST time cooking a turkey.

    Sorry! I meant I Fire and Flavor one instead of AB’s recipe. It has herbs and other seasoning that just make it even tastier.

    Potatoes Pascal has been a "go to" side dish for us since 2004 when we got hold of this recipe! We use way more garlic than the recipe calls for.

    My mom makes the mashed potatoes every year using butter, cream cheese, and sour cream! So good.

    I don’t want to hijack the thread, but I’m curious. Does this taste like twice baked potatoes or is it really like mashed? And how long, at what temp, do you reheat? These sound like they would taste really, really good!

    No it tastes just like mashed potatoes. I guess the sour cream is used instead of milk/half and half. She also roasts 2 BULBS of garlic, not cloves, and adds that. I can try and get more info from her. She said she makes them the day before and reheats them for about 45 minutes she thinks. She uses a recipe from a cooking school she used to volunteer at. She said the chef said to make the day before. I can get the recipe from her tonight.
