Belated Thanksgiving Dinner


We had to delay our Thanksgiving dinner, so tonight was the night. We went shopping early, and the Thanksgiving turkey breast was still really frozen solid, so a couple hour's bath in a cool bath in the sink helped that while we were shopping for fresh vegetables and such. 

I seasoned with Herbes de Provence, even beneath the skin, and even added a little to the stuffing mix and gravy to help tie it all together.

The turkey was still partially frozen when it was put in the oven, but that just meant that it would take a little longer.

That additional time allowed us to cook the mashed potatoes, green beans, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. We tried to get it all to finish at the same time, and were pretty successful!

Turkey breast was good, the "Herbes de Provence" seasoning was very tasty since some was beneath the skin, and some was deep inside, along with a quartered lemon.

Not bad considering that this was the first time we had had done a turkey breast (we had done a roast duck a couple times in the past...).

Very tasty, and we have the option of making turkey enchiladas con mole poblano for supper tomorrow!
