Sorry about that Part 2

Part 2 of the Thanksgiving theme. If you can't understand the title, see part 1.

I'm going to do each part before and after. This is the turkey before. It is stuffed with apples, oranges, celery, herbs and spices.

And after. We cooked it at 500 degrees for 30 minutes. Then we lowered the temperature to 350 degrees until a meat thermometer read 161 degrees. 

 

 Rumaki- bacon cut in half and cooked slightly, whole water chestnuts, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup sugar. Mix sugar and ketchup in dish. Microwave 1 minute, stir. Wrap bacon around chestnuts and secure with a toothpick. Place in ketchup mixture. Cook at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes.

Before.

 

During.

 

After. This is actually my Grandpa's recipe.

 

The continuation of stuffing. Here I am cutting apples.

 

This is me smiling while pouring broth in.

 

This is me spreading the stuffing in the pan.

 

 And this is me putting a smile made out of butter. This smile simply melted.

 

Home Fries- cube potatoes. Cook in olive oil over medium heat, seasoned with garlic salt.

My favorite. I worked hard on these.

 

Before. 

 

After. 

 

The plating. Admire the presentation, if you must.
