Salt roast turkey with herbs and shallot-dijon gravy - This will be the third consecutive year I have made this for Thanksgiving. The turkey is coming from Richard's County Meat - they bring in fresh turkeys this time of the year. You just need to place an order with them around the 1st of November - and if you are feeling lazy, they will cook it for you. The true star of this dish, aside from the turkey, is the gravy, especially if you take the time to make the roasted turkey stock from scratch.
Southern cornbread dressing - sticking with tradition
Cranberry balsamic sauce - this will be with fresh cranberries and I think I will make up a recipe for this one as I go - if it is as tasty as I hope it will be, then I will post the recipe later.
Roasted carrot parsnip and potato coins - this is a great fall/winter side dish that should balance out the rest of the meal with its combination of cardamom and coriander.
Bobby Flay's "Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranates and Vanilla-Pecan Butter" from the Thanksgiving Throwdown the other night - will have to make the Pomegranate Molasses from scratch, don't think you can get it around here, but the recipe is very interesting and according to some of the reviews on Food Network from people who were actually at the Throwdown in Oklahoma should be a standout.
Refrigerator rolls - Mom's recipe (Gotta love smelling yeast in the refrigerator for a few days to get you ready for this treat)
