I just took my turkey out of the oven and you'd think I let it set in a bath of butter all night long. zomg. The only way I'll cook turkey going forward! Here's to slow roasting, cooking fast is a pandemic tragedy!  

Agreed, philmack. I will put mine in the oven tonight before I go to bed. I love it when it falls apart the way it does, probably on about 250. I'm doing my LC cranberry sauce and LC desserts today, and will prepare cauliflower "mac n chs", LC stuffing, and green beans tomorrow. Glad the turkey turned out yummy! 

@Tamarah, the recipe for the chocolate pie WOULD be greatly appreciated :) 

I am going to start on my southwest stuffing this evening. I might make peanut butter blondies too. I'm so excited about Thanksgiving dinner!  

@Tamarah Jo, I would love that recipe of that chocolate pie....sounds right up my hubby's alley!!! Wanted to make him something special and this sounds just right  

Philmck, can you give me the directions for slow roasting a turkey? I would love to do that with mine. 

Put your prepped turkey in a 300°F oven for an hour then slow roast it an additional hour per pound at 200°F. I had a 13 pound turkey so I put it in at 7:00pm last night for an hour @300°F then roasted it till 9am @200°F. I just finished one of the legs (quality control, you know) and it was delicious!  

hang on let me see if I can find a the link,, its to ,long to type in .let me know if this works for you . Make sure you crush the nuts well,, that's the only thing I would do different next time . not to much but don't leave whole . http://www.djfoodie.com/Chocolate-Pudding-Pie

We are having: 1.)Baked chicken --> Already baked, just needs warmed up. 2.)Lower sodium Stove Top Stuffing --> Pretty quick to do. 3.)Corn --> Frozen but only takes a few minutes. 4.)Butternut Squash (instead of sweet potatoes) --> Takes longer to cut up than to cook. It's quicker to cook than sweet potatoes though. 5.)Pumpkin custard (pie filling without the crust) --> Don't know. My wife takes care of that. Probably should do it today if she feels up to it. Not exactly traditional, but over the last couple of years, my wife and I have lost our taste for turkey. With her medical problems and restrictive diet and with my diet that doesn't match hers, It's kinda hard to have a traditional holiday meal without cooking way to much food.
