    I don't have a favorite really, I try a different one every year. When I was watching the Martha Stewart marathon last week, she had a really good stuffing recipe on there. I'll be trying that tomorrow, minus the cherries and pecans.

    You can get that recipe and a ton more ideas from Martha, .

    (I am a proud Martha addict.)

    I make stuffing from a mix. I have a great turkey recipe though, stole it from my ex! It's better when he makes it for some reason, but it's still pretty damn good...

    Rub outside of turkey with loads of butter.
    Rub under the skin with Tony Cachere seasoning. Use plenty.
    Slice two or three deep cuts across the turkey.
    Roast sloooooooowly.
    While roasting, remove all the pan juices to a small saucepan. Add a heaping tablespoon (or two!) of butter, a spoonful of honey, and a dash of Tony Cachere. Heat, stirring, until thoroughly mixed and then baste the turkey with this mixture. Repeat this process every 20 minutes or so.
    Once the turkey is done, let it rest for at least a half hour before serving.

    I don't even like turkey but this is goooooooood!!

    Well, here's the whole meal. I wrote it up for my daughter last year. It was in Microsoft Word, but there is a limit of 20 kb per attachment on .doc files, so I had to leave it in .txt format.

    I hope it comes out OK.

    I'm trying this... (Again, thanks Martha!)

    Perfect Turkey Gravy
    Makes 3 cups
    Do not use a non stick pan when cooking your turkey. This way, there will be more crispy, cooked-on bits, which add flavor to the gravy.


    1 1/2 cups Madeira wine
    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

    1. Make giblet stock while turkey is roasting.

    2. Transfer roasted turkey to a large platter. Pour juices from the pan into a fat separator. Set aside to separate, about 10 minutes.

    3. Strain stock, discarding solids, and return to saucepan; warm over low heat. Place roasting pan on top of stove over medium-high heat. Pour Madeira into measuring cup, then into pan, and let it bubble; scrape bottom and sides of pan with a wooden spoon to dislodge cooked-on bits.

    4. Make a slurry: Place flour in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Ladle 1 cup stock into jar, and close lid. Shake until combined. Slowly pour into roasting pan; stir to incorporate. Cook over medium heat, stirring until flour is cooked, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly stir in remaining stock.

    5. Raise heat to medium high. Add the dark drippings that have settled to the bottom of the fat separator to roasting pan. Discard fat. Stir in rosemary. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 10 to 15 minutes to reduce and thicken. For thicker gravy, add 1 more tablespoon flour and 1/2 cup less stock.

    6. Strain liquid from pan through a very fine sieve. Adjust seasoning. Keep warm in heat-proof bowl over a pan of simmering water until ready to serve.

    Lol, you guys are funny.

    I just use stove top stuffing. (noone in our family eats much of it anyway, so it's really a waste to actually make it)

    As for everything else, that's pretty good.

    *Sad, I thought we were the only ones who made turnips, lol. Cool!*

    No, in conjunction with stock and the Campbell's or some other. I like to mix it up. It's like adding bouillion.

    Not sure I would want wine in the gravy, though. But Sicilians put wine on corn flakes, don't they, Rhi. J/K.

    For stuffing I have to make at least two portions one inside the bird and another out. And so sometimes I make little satellite foils to try stuff. Like one year and shrimp and another scallops wrapped in bacon. Interesting. But then the usual dousing of marjoram, thyme, etc. I'm trying pecans and the walnuts are always great.

    I cook for an army even though one may not show up. So it isn't always easy to change it all around and get it right. But little things thrown in are cool.

    I thought Sitri's idea of olive juice was interesting.

    Baby, we put wine on anything that's for sure. LOL

    It's pretty funny when your memories at the Thanksgiving "Kids' Table" include catching a buzz from the gravy, and the wine you're drinking at 5 years old. LMFAO

    Turnips are the rudest, bitchiest, oddest smelling vegetables, but yet have a great disitinctive taste, so I have to include them. If they are not cooked enough, they are tough to digest, though.

    You know, I was in the grocery store the other day and saw parsnips, but didn't pick them up. Lol...I had a job picking them as a kid, but don't remember trying them. We threw them at each other, though. Anyone had them?

    "What's the difference between parsnips and pussy?"





    Noone eats parsnips!!!!


    Seriously though, I haven't had them but I'm willing to try anything once!

    1. Make giblet stock while turkey is roasting.

    I just love instructions like that. "Make giblet stock." "Bone three larks." "Carolage the gumpfry while hook-saddling the sauce."

    No offense to Martha, but for people who are consulting a recipe because they're ignorant, could she possibly go a little deeper on the how-to than "make giblet stock"? I mean, we could have a recipe that says, "Roast one turkey," too.
