cruzmisl Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hi All and Happy Thanksgiving (in Canada anyway), Well its Thanksgiving weekend and I'm having the family over for some turkey. I brined the 18lb bird in maple syrup, honey, salt, water, cloves, ginger and black pepper. I then cut the backbone out, took out the wishbone and removed the thighbone. I then stuffed the thighs with stuffing I made from home made chicken stock, pumpernickel, rye and some white bread then I added rosemary, sage, sauteed wild mushrooms, dried cranberries for some tartness and a light amount of pecans among other things. Getting ready to go into the oven now. I'll try and take a pic when it comes out if the vultures don't get to it first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
