Turkey Day is only a few days away…

Does everyone have their Thanksgiving plans all set? Anybody stuck hosting a house full of people you despise? Sucks to be you. 

We’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving at my in-laws’ yearly potluck. I haven’t finalized what I’m bringing but I think I’ll make endive spears stuffed with crab salad and garlic cauliflower mashed potatoes.

On Black Friday, we’re hosting a small party with friends and I’ll serve a Paleo-style Turducken Junior along with Paleo-friendly sides and chicharrones.  

I thank my lucky stars that I won’t be slaving in the kitchen this year. If I was, I’d peruse these recipes:

• Russ Parson’s Dry-Brined Turkey (Do it TODAY!)
• Dr. Eades’s Sous Vide Turkey
• Cook’s Illustrated Roasted Brined Turkey
• Easy Paleo Gravy (Better yet, make some Slow Cooker Roast Chicken and save the extra gravy for Thursday)
• Bill & Hayley’s Paleo Stuffing
• Charles & Julie’s Paleo Stuffing
• Jan’s Sushi Bar’s Spicy Cranberry Wine Sauce
• Carrot Parsnip Puree
• Roasted Kabocha Squash
• Roasted Broccoli with Crispy Prosciutto
• Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Bacon
• Baked Yams/Sweet Potatoes
• World’s Best Braised Cabbage
• Melicious’s Velvety Butternut Squash
• Mark Sisson’s Pumpkin Pie
• Pumpkin, Coconut, & Maple Custard Cups
