The Result
Thanksgiving has come and gone. It was my/our first Thanksgiving as host and I think it was a smashing success. HW made an amazing turkey. I simply gave an assist on the prep and cutting. Kudos to her for a juicy, maple syrup glazed, bacon wrapped, rosemary butter infused turkey. Yum and, yes, I did carve the turkey butcher-style. It was accompanied by a garlic/bacon kale with carrots, simmered brussel sprouts, butternut squash puree, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and more. After digesting, drinking tea and coffee, and eating some pumpkin and apple pies, we turned to singing karaoke to end the celebration. A lovely day.

Posted by: Jaye at November 26, 2007 09:56 AMI am in awe at the brilliance of combining bacon and turkey. Did HW get the recipe somewhere? Though I've done turkey a couple times before, this year was my first brined turkey. You should try it - a lot of flavor and juiciness without having to baste. If you want to check it out, I just blogged about it!
