Turkey Before Thanksgiving

With the kids nestled in bed, we make an evening for ourselves by roasting up turkey legs. With Thanksgiving less than 24 hours away, we have lots to do. So, rather than watching a holiday special recorded on MythTV, we fire up the oven and some holiday tunes on MythMusic.
We are responsible for the gravy this Thanksgiving which means, of course, that we need pan drippings. The need for pan drippings gives us an excuse to finally add a turkey recipe to the cookbook. Being able to get an early start to turkey eating is just an added bonus!

Tonight’s actual dinner menu consisted mostly of leftovers and pantry items. Chris had chicken with barbecue sauce (and a turkey leg for dessert). Our daughter and our son ate pancakes. Robin had sautéed green stuff and various other healthy items.

After dinner (and before the turkey leg dessert), we ventured out to the Cold Stone Creamery to order an ice cream cake for tomorrow. And since we were there anyway, we had some ice cream for dessert.
