My favorite holiday has come around again. I am afraid nothing new or exciting this season, it’s been a rough year and this month especially. But cooking always makes me feel better, so traditional Thanksgiving is on the menu this week.

This year I’m going to post the Thanksgiving menu and provide links to each recipe.

I’ll spatchcock the turkey as always, but I’m going to use Michael Symon’s recipe for a maple/bourbon/butter wrapping.  Everything else will be family favorites.

On the Thanksgiving Day board:

Appetizers: Stuffed Mushrooms (recipe here), crucrudités tray with dips

Michael Symons Spatchcock Roasted Turkey (recipe here)

Stuffing

Gravy

Garlic Mashed Potatoes (recipe here)

Winter Squash Soup (recipe here)

Dessert: Blueberry Pie, Cranberry Upside-Down Cake and Apple Crisp

If you’re in the mood for some non-traditional sides, got you covered with quite a few here. 

If bourbon maple turkey isn’t to your taste, all the turkey recipes from years past can be found here.
