Last year my 'mulled wine spice'-themed Thanksgiving dinner line-up turned out really well so I'm going to repeat it, but I have more people flying in than last year so need to make a turkey in addition to duck, and I forgot the stuffing recipe I followed so any suggestions would be helpful. Any feedback in general would be nice tbh.
Roast Turkey
- Dry brined and roasted the day before. If anyone has a good roast turkey/turkey dry brine recipe please share.
Roasted duck
- Roasted following this recipe but dry brined for 24 hrs with salt, brown sugar, orange peels, garlic, cinnamon, star anise, and ginger slices
Stuffing
- Probably a sausage and rustic bread or baguette one. It's hard to go wrong with stuffing but if anyone has a good recipe please share.
Braised red cabbage
- Braised on the stovetop for over an hour with star anise, maybe a slice of ginger, cloves, juniper berries, and whatever I adjust it with.
Honeynut squash puree
- I used sweet potatoes last year, but I'm going to probably use some honeynut squash I grew in containers this year. Or maybe just stick with sweet potatoes and use the honeynut squash for something else.
Braised kale or arugula salad
- Gotta add a green to feel like you're less of a fatass. I'll probably make something easy (the arugula salad last year worked well with everything else) but I'm open to suggestions if anyone has them. As long as the suggestions don't involve green beans.
Gravy, redcurrent jelly sauce, cranberry sauce
- Gravy made with turkey drippings from the day before, redcurrant jelly sauce made by mixing redcurrant jelly and white wine, cranberry sauce from a jar
Some sort of grocery store dessert
- Maybe I'll be able to find some pumpkin pie
Thoughts? Does anyone have a line-up they're proud of?

I don't have to make a whole dinner thankfully, but I'm gonna do a tartiflette to bring to my family's Thanksgiving this year. And maybe make my giga easy pecan pie brownie things again if i can find the recipe

That sounds like a great thanksgiving dish. How easy is it to make?
Post it in the food hole if you do find the recipe and make them

I've never made it before, but it seems easy enough. Probably going to use this recipe

They're really good for how simple they are, the only hard thing is the first step being a bit of a b-word without a pie crust masher thing
