We’ve had a busy couple of weeks sharing all our Thanksgiving Recipes with you. We thought we’d pull everything together and put it all in one place so that you can either drool (or plan your holiday meal).
Make sure the bird is 100% submerged. The Turkey will want to float. I suggest either a brine bag or a plate on top to hold the turkey under until it is nice and drunk.
Appetizers – because let’s face it, that Turkey always takes longer than you expect.
- Persimmon Olive Tapanade – just so you establish the orange color palate right away
- Duck Fat Roasted Pumpkin Seeds – duck fat will rock your guest’s world!

The MAIN Event – after all, the bird is the word!
- Dry Brined Turkey – easy and classic

- Roasted Chicken with Pumpkin Ale Pan Sauce – perfect for just the two of you

Please, do pick SIDES:
- Sweet Potato & Butternut Squash Bake – minus marshmallow anything
- Caramelized Brussles Sprout Gratin – gratin THIS!
- Garlic Winter Coleslaw – a family classic
- Persimmon, Pear & Fennel Salad – with crispy fried sage
- Stewed Green Beans with Bacon – bacon is never amiss
- Hibiscus Cranberry-Blackberry Sauce – one type of berry good, two types better
Simple ingredients take Green Beans to a whole new level
DESSERTS the icing on the Thanksgiving cake:
- Brown Bag Apple Pie – baked in an actual brown paper bag

One of my fall favorites
Drinks:
