Since today is Thanksgiving Day, I am treating all of you to a (virtual) traditional turkey dinner! :)

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

I know Turkey Day is too American. Since we all live in a global village, do enjoy and celebrate this Thanksgiving Day :)


P.S. Not forgetting to thank Boss Sam for this SBF for all of us to TCSS! :D

Virtual Thanksgiving dinner? I feel sorry for you.

My wife and I have been in the US for slightly over three months now. We got our US citizenship last month.

Tonight we will have a real Thanksgiving dinner with our relatives.

To those Sinkies who are still vacillating: give up your Sinkie citizenship (it's worthless) and come over here to live the American dream. It is not too late.
 
it's thanksgiving morning here, and my turkey is still soaking in a 5-gallon pot filled with aromatics, brine and ice cubes. dinner is 11 hours to go.

cranberry sauce is homemade from ripen cranberries, brown sugar, a few clovers and a dash of lemon juice. strips of orange peels will add zest to the mix.

i made the mistake of using a wooden spatula to stir the pot of cranberries. the red stain will stay on the spatula for months. highly recommend a stainless steel spoon.

Bro., dun forget to take a picture of the finished product and post the pic here, ok?

We will let the other brothers in this forum be the judges and rate how good is your roasted turkey when compared to the one in my picture above!

I took a look at your turkey pic, your turkey look quite small leh, less than 15 lbs?

Oh, thank you for feeling sorry for me :)

Truth be told, I have had my share of real Thanksgiving turkeys in years past. :)

10 lbs this year as i only invited joe, mo, curlie, nelson, and freddy. since the latter two are vegetarians like tony, there will be too much meat on the table. last year, the turkey was 12 lbs. the previous year, it was 15 lbs. meat portions and consumption will shrink over time as we get older. 5 years from now when we lose our teeth, we'll be dining only on cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and mash potato.

Why no invite me?
 
In sinkapore, so convenient ...Cold Storage can do one for you ...no hassle.

safeway and costco offer to prepare full turkey meals too according to your preference. but the fun is in doing it yourself as it's a 2-day holiday. moreover, football on tv is on all day and all shops and eateries are closed, except chinese restaurants. next year, i'll smoke my turkey in the backyard.

I used to buy a 12-lb turkey for three persons. So, 10 lbs seem ok for a small group.

BTW, dun feel bad if your roasted turkey does not turn out to be like the one in my pic above because the one shown in the pic above is a googled pic from a food magazine (I think) :):D

staged pics for food magazines usually use semi-cooked turkeys with blow torch and touch up paint on them. :D
