Mike's company gave out free turkeys for Thanksgiving and he really wanted to cook it on Christmas Eve to start a new tradition with just us.
So, I found a simple recipe from Ina Garten, Mike made mashed potatoes, and it all worked out well! You always hear horror stories about young wives who forgot to take the giblets out, or forgot to defrost it, etc. I don't know if I'm ready to serve a big Thanksgiving dinner just yet, but I'd have no problem doing this next year.
And after we carved up the meat, I made some stock according to local food guy Michael Ruhlman's directions. I have about 8 ziplock bags of frozen turkey stock in 2 cup increments.
