Our Home Alone Thanksgiving Dinner

[Rich Dahl]

Barb and I were alone this Thanksgiving and decided to do a few things differently.
I’ve grilled or smoked our Thanksgiving turkey for the last four or five years so we decided to cook the bird in the oven (I know I can hear the moans already) so we could have the great smells of a cooking turkey.
We also decided to do some first time different sides so we did those on the outdoor oven the Weber E320.
Barb did an Almond-Cranberry Butternut Squash Bake and I did a Grilled Stout Stuffing using some left over homemade Saturday bread. Barb also did a new roll recipe Bakers Dozen Yeast Rolls.
Everything came out great, but it was one long day and way too much food.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

Rich, I told my mom yesterday when she arrived that the only downside to smoking the turkey is that you don't get that great roasting turkey smell in the house!!! You and Barb done yourselves proud with that "home alone" spread. I would have been honored to share a plate of all that goodness with the two of you!

You and Barb knocked it out of the park as usual. The squash recipe looks amazing. Hope you had a wonderful day. So what if the bird was done in the oven. I agree that the smell in the house is a wonderful thing. Bet the leftovers are wonderful.

Beautiful cook by two beautiful people!
Smelling a turkey cook in the oven is as good as on a grill, just different that's all.

Looks like a tasty meal Rich & Barb. The other advantage to cooking in the oven is that you don't smell like charcoal and smoke................... Not sure if that is an advantage or not, I kind of like smelling like that.

That's some beautiful food Barb & Rich! Is that home made Chutney I see in the back? I would be curious to hear about it's makings if so

I hope you're planning on making a late night snack out of a couple of those rolls and some turkey.

Looks great!
