Thank you gobs of butter and olive oil for making

Thank you gobs of butter and olive oil for making the skin of this turkey so brown and crispy. 🧈🍗

In preparation for Thanksgiving I thought I’d post my favorite roasted turkey recipe—Orange Rosemary Roasted Turkey. I’ve made it for years now for Thanksgiving and it always turns out delicious.

In my recipe I laid out step by step instructions for turkey prep- including how to prep your sink with plastic garbage sacks so you can keep your kitchen as clean as possible.

I have a special method for pulling out the turkey giblets inside the cavity… I stick my hand inside a plastic bag, put the plastic bag inside the cavity, then pull out the giblets and turn the bag inside out, so I don’t have to touch them at all. Anyone else ever tried that??

Making a turkey can seem gross but once it’s in the oven it’s pretty simple.

This dip is so insanely good. I could eat nothing

This dip is so insanely good. I could eat nothing but this for 3 meals. It’s a must-have for the holidays🌲.

As I’ve posted about all my favorite Thanksgiving recipes, I forgot to mention probably one of my all-time favorite foods – this This Cranberry Pomegranate Dip.

It’s fresh, sweet, and bright cranberries and pomegranate with a smooth cream cheese below. It’s perfect on crackers or chips. Every year I’ve made this it’s always a hit. It’s honestly one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving day. Adapted from a popular holiday dip - I added pomegranates which add an amazing bright sweetness.

It’s late but a lot of you have been asking me for a quick guide of prepping for Thanksgiving so I wanted to put this together for you...

Many of you are making your first Thanksgiving dinner complete from start to finish this year because of Covid. I’m sure most of us are used to only needing to do a dish or two! It can feel overwhelming.

I wanted to lay this all out for you. I’ve done this start to finish 5 times and it is doable! And you don’t even need to do all these dishes. If your family just wants mashed potatoes, turkey, rolls, and gravy just do that! If you don’t want to make pie, get one at Costco! This is full prep if you want to go all out, but most everyone can slim this down.

Don’t stress if you’re nervous. It’s going to be a wonderful Thanksgiving. And this will help.

I’ll share it in stories too so you screenshot it.

I’ve also categorized all my thanksgiving recipes into one place for you here! https://plumstreetcollective.com/category/thanksgiving/

Do you like Green Bean Casserole? Have you ever had it from scratch?

For years I thought I didn’t like Green Bean Casserole. I’d only ever had it with canned green beans and canned cream of mushroom soup. Turns out I just hadn’t had it made right.

Chopped fresh green beans with the flavor of this homemade cream of mushroom soup is at the next level. It’s creamy and thick with the most delicious butter-y mushroom flavor.

Today I’m thankful for food. Want to know why?🍴🌿🍎🍊🍌

Food brings us together. New neighbor, sick friend, celebrations, gatherings, family dinner, holidays... however you use it, food is love. It says I’m thinking about you, we are friends, I care, I’m here for you.

Food is energy and sustenance. Think about how lucky we are to live at this time in human history - and my guess is if you’re reading this you have a smartphone and probably a fridge with food in it. Can you imagine our ancestors looking down on us seeing how lucky we are to have fridges filled with food, cabinets with shelf stable ingredients, and grocery store aisles packed with more food than pioneers probably saw in their lifetime. There is a lot wrong with the world but we also live in a miraculous time. In the past people had to dedicate most days of their life to working land or farms to have food for the day. Now we can largely choose what our paths and professions are, based on our interests. Food availability is a huge cause of that.

Food is creativity. A way to express ourselves with others. From the way we put ingredients together to the way we serve and plate them.

Food is comfort. The meal after a long day, the nourishment after a hard workout, the ice cream when you’re feeling low, the spread at a holiday meal, or the cookies from a friend.

Food is culture. The best way to experience a new place or people. Even if you can’t travel everywhere you can try food from almost every culture. Global cultural experiences right in our homes.

You all know I love food. It’s my interest, my comfort, my creativity, and all of the above. But really it’s my love language. There is a lot of talk in diet culture that shames food into bad categories. I just don’t believe in that. Food is a blessing, and it’s up to us to determine how we use it.

So today with this week of Thanksgiving upon us, I want to share all the reasons I’m thankful for food😌 Did I miss anything? #givethanks

Are you like me and just need a crisp salad on you

Are you like me and just need a crisp salad on your thanksgiving table to balance out all the warm, rich dishes?🙋🏼‍♀️🌿

This Fall Harvest Salad is a great fresh side to bring to thanksgiving dinner.

On my site I share why I love this salad so much (hello pomegranates and candied pecans!) and I explain how to chop and massage the kale to make it taste amazing.

My happy place - pie week🙌🏻

Yep, I just wrote whole paragraphs for you all about Pie Crust on my site. I created this pie crust recipe a decade ago after trying tons of recipes that I just didn’t love. I tested out recipes with all butter crusts (they melted too fast), and I tested out all shortening crusts (they smelled like chemicals and missed that buttery flavor). After many tests I came up with this recipe that’s a butter & shortening combo.

Want to make sure you have a great recipe and all the info you need to make an amazing pie this Thanksgiving! I also shared in stories a couple videos about how I get the wavy crust on my pies, in case you want to try.

Here are my tips for amazing Pie Crust:

•Don’t touch the dough too much when you’re first bringing it all together. If you have access to a food processor, make it in a food processor. This keeps the butter and shortening from warming up in your hands. If not, be sure to use a pastry cutter or knives to cut the fats in.
•Keep the dough chilled! I chill it after every step in the process.
•Use a little vinegar. It sounds strange but vinegar inhibits the formation of gluten. Using a little in this dough helps it stay flaky and keeps it from being tough.
•Keep the top edge of the crust a little thick – if it’s too thin it can burn.
•If your pie crust does ever start to look dark, and your pie filling still isn’t done baking, just cover the pie up loosely with aluminum foil. The pie will keep baking and this will keep the crust from burning.
•If you blind bake the crust, line it with parchment, and be sure to fill the whole thing up with pie weights or rice – the sides need to be filled high or the sides of the pie will melt down (trust me I’ve learned this the hard way!).

Where are my mashed potato lovers? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Not sure if your house is like ours, but during Thanksgiving here, mashed potatoes are always the favorite (well, besides the Lion House Rolls).

These Creamy Mashed Potatoes with a Crispy Topping are made by:
• Simmering milk and butter with thyme and whole garlic gloves
• Pouring this milk/butter mixture over the cooked potatoes as you whip them
• Toasting crushed panko breadcrumbs and Tim’s Parmesan Garlic potato chips with thyme for the crispiest, most flavorful little crunch on top.

The result? Fluffiest potatoes infused with flavor that is subtle enough even for kids (mine scarfed them down) -and the best of both textures: a crispy top with crunch, with creamy and fluffy potatoes underneath.

These are the perfect #thanksgiving side dish - or just great on their own😌
