Looking for Recipe Suggestions for Thanksgiving

Sounds good Sir LOB. I'd be interested if you posted the Italian Sausage, Apple and Fennel stuffing, please.

I looked at the Martha Stewart recipe for turkey with the cheesecloth. I sort of raised my eyebrows at the wine, wondering how she got it mixed in the all that butter. Then I read some of it and she melted the butter with the wine and soaked the cheesecloth in it.
Her turkey with parchment paper recipe - pictures showed she slathered the turkey with butter first.

Thanks Sir LOB, looks really good. I've saved it.

Seeing as I would be cooking it on it's own, what do you recommend for a pan? 8x8 or 9x13? or a deep casserole style.
Also think I would cover in foil at the beginning as there is no turkey on top to keep the moisture in.
Sound about right?

Did I mention that I am wearing my Thanksgiving t-shirt all week-end, unless I spill something on it?

I was just thinking about that episode Wednesday when we were putting the breast into brine.

That was one of the finest sitcom episodes of all time.

Well, Tried to post this video as a spoiler, but it didn't work. So if you haven't seen the epidote, and want to, don't watch this video...

Oh my goodness, that was hilarious. I have seen it countless times before, but there are so many great details that I had forgotten. I laughed so hard my glasses are fogging up.

And you are right @caseydog, that is definitely one of the all time best sitcom episodes. The writing for that show and the way those actors worked together was epic.
