Well, we went for traditional flavors for sure but we used a lot of canned and partials to pull it off. SU and I had just finished packing and departing SATx early Weds morning. The normal 11-12 hour trip to the Fl panhandle turned into closer to 14 as well due to traffic issues so I was beat on arrival in Fl. SU slept through most of Tejas on the way out so she started on the pumpkin pie (linked to in this room) shortly after arrival. I was wrecked, I'd pick up while she slept on Turkey Day morning.

It was all stuff my brother (not a cooking hobbyist) picked up in case he had to pull it off on his own due to our situation and timing leaving Tejas. So a rolled turkey boob (rolled boneless but with skin thankfully) and four thighs (I asked him to grab those for dark meat choice), canned green beans, two containers of turkey gravy (one came from the boob package), canned sweet potatoes and one real from Tejas, premade mashed potatoes (Bob Evans) and a box of turkey stuffing. Bro at least made actual Cranberry dressing.

It was a flavor concentration and augment day. Drive off canned liquids. Lot of saute, mirepoix, bacon (fat used too) same with turkey thighs (brown in pan to capture flavor and fat and finish in oven), butter and heavy cream. Lipids baby, gotta love them.

Not gonna go much on each detail since most here understand the task at hand but we pulled it off and it wasn't the normal two day evolution...actually it was a quite acceptable feast.

SU and I were challenged for sure, but thankful for the results.

Best,
J.
