Well, my “battle plan” for an easy T-Day dinner is well under way. The turkey breast is in the rice cooker (which has just clicked over to from “cook” to “slow cook”–@ about 180 degrees fahrenheit) along with some medium-sized red potatoes, quartered, some turkey gravy fixin’s and as much stuffing as I could fit inside the cavity of the small, quadraplegic bird (just the breast portion of a a small turkey, that is, minus legs and wings).
Lotsa dressing left over (crumbled cornbread, poultry seasonings–like sage, lots and lots of black pepper, etc.–onion and celery, etc.) and put in a baking dish to join Lovely Daughter’s “smashed yams” and green bean casserole in the oven.
The pumpjin bread’s making in the bread maker and everything except the liquids is measured out for the wheat/bran/ground flax seed egg bread that’ll go in the bread maker in the a.m.
I’ll be sure and post about how it turned out, but so far, easiest thanksgiving meal involving turkey and fixin’s I’ve tried. (All-time easiest Thanksgiving meal: second-day—or third-day, when it’s even better—chili. Yum. It’s what I’d fix for Thanksgiving and Christmas every year, by preference… cos I’m a very lazy cook, of course. :-))
