Honey smoked our bird on the Big Green Egg for the first time and it was utterly divine. We rubbed it with dried thyme, dried rosemary, celery seed, salt and pepper, then stuffed it with an onion and fresh rosemary and thyme. He used a plate setter to deflect the heat and cooked it on a v-rack inside of a foil pan. We poured about a cup of apple cider vinegar in the pan to keep it moist while cooking at 350 for 15 minutes per pound. Sister helped dress it up for the table.
The Spode for Williams Sonoma acorn plates and turkey platter were wedding gifts, along with the Lenox Butler’s Pantry Plates and Strasburg Silver. I used mint julep cups for water this year.
Of course, we played our little Turkey Talk game.
And then we enjoyed dessert by the fire on the porch since it was the first day in a while that wasn’t bitter cold!
The cousins stayed too busy to get a good picture of them. Of course, the boys continue to fawn all over little CeeCee. I was thrilled to have another little one to seat at my beloved high chair.
Per usual, the men in the family are looking like this right now.
*thankful*
