Flowerbug, I'm technology challenged so I just wrote it out on a piece of paper! Love being old fashioned, haha.

I'll be making the turkey, potatoes, gravy, rolls, and roasted veggies. Tomorrow I'll make a pumpkin pie and a pecan pie. My daughter will bring a green salad and my other daughter's boyfriend will bring a pot roast. His parents are coming over for the first time and his dad will make his delicious lima beans and bring a dessert.

This year I am being more organized to not be stressed. Trying to make as much as I can ahead of time and just have it in the fridge ready to go in the oven.

I only have one oven so will have to use my son's oven downstairs.

That sounds like a good plan fixing parts of Turkey Day menu a few days ahead. 👍

Here is my turkey out of the bird stuffing recipe, in pictures with some labels:
Sweet Italian sausage (ALDI carries this out of the casings, and the seasoning is lovely!)
Cooked with 2 large onions in a skillet.
Seasoned the bread cubes with sage. UNfortunately I had to cheat bc my sage died.
Mixed the sausage and onions with the bread cubes.
Mixed in one full quart of my turkey broth.
Bake in the over in bread pans, appoximately 30 minutes. Use a toothpick or knife to see if it's done.
You can adapt by covering with aluminum foil or cooking longer.
PLEASE make some turkey broth! It tastes SO much better than any stuff you can buy for stuffing.
