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


Sausage, Apple, andFennel Corn Bread Stuffing​

Ingredients:
  • 1 day-old cast iron skillet cornbread
  • 2 tsp light olive oil
  • 2 cups onion, finely chopped
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 large Granny Smith apple, diced
  • ½ cup diced celery
  • ½ cup diced fennel bulb
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp poultry seasoning
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper
  • 1½ cups turkey stock
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 6 ounces bulk Turkey Italian sausage

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sausage and saute it until browned, stirring occasionally.
Add the onion and bay leaf and cook until the onion starts to brown,stirring occasionally.
Add the apple, celery, and fennel and continue to saute for 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and the next 5 ingredients(through black pepper) and saute 1 minute more.
Remove the sausage mixture from the heat and discard the bay leaf. Cool the sausage mixture to room temperature.
Crumble the corn bread into a large bowl. Add the cooled sausage mixture to the bowl and toss to combine. Add the broth and 2 eggs to the bowl and toss to combine.


 
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?

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.
