2021 Thanksgiving (Part 2)

Part 2 of the Thanksgiving post is mainly just to add extra cooking notes on dishes other than the turkey.

Thanksgiving meal in 2021.
Charcuterie board as appetizer. Not really a thing for Thanksgiving but I thought it would be fun to bring small plate of food to the table to add some variety. Served with crackers.
Marshmallows with halved marshmallows on top.
Brussel sprouts with crushed walnut to give it some texture. No balsamic vinegar added to them because we didn’t like the flavor last year.
Mashed potatoes.
The turkey from previous post.
Gravy made from turkey drippings.
Fresh cranberry sauce with orange zest and reduced sugar.
And of course, we ended with the pumpkin pie 🙂 The crust was unfortunately burnt this time… I was distracted while multi-tasking and forgot to put foil over the edge of the pie… Also need to buy extra whipping cream next time. We were out of whipping cream really quick. Goals for next year 🙂
Happy 2021 Thanksgiving! 🙂
