    When mother taught me how to make corn bread dressing, she said to judge the amount of moisture, after adding the broth, lightly press the back of a spoon down on top....if liquid seeps into the spoon, it is enough, it it doesn't, then add a little more broth...worked for me for the last 65 years...

    We always boiled and chopped the gizzards/liver/neck fine and added it to our dressing. Chopped up fine no one notices it and it adds more vitamins, minerals and extra protein.

      Thanks! That’s a great idea! I didn’t know what to do with them. My son in law likes the chicken livers from KFC, but he doesn’t get them very often. He might like that.

      @@TalesFromAnEmptyNest well we didn't have liver or anything at other times of the year. Only during turkey time. My mom cut them chunkier and as a child sometimes I picked them out. But I know it's healthy and also grew up not liking to waste food so I dice them small or use food processor and no one ever notices it's in there. And the meat on the neck is just like the other chicken meat, comes off in shreds

    I butter my turkey the same way, I wrap it up tight, I place it in the pan, I add 1/4 inch of hot water into the pan,
    I place in a 500-degree oven, a 30lb bird will be ready in approximately 3 hours,
    And the meat will never, ever be dry, it's infused with the liquids, and fats from butter,
    I take the foil off the top of the bird
    Turn the over down to 350 to brown and crisp the skin,
    I am Scottish, trained as a chef, and have made my turkey this way for over 40 years, never fails.
    Happy Thanksgiving 💖

      @midlifemom5829 butter the turkey the same as in the video, wrap the turkey in foil, put 1/4" water in turkey pan, place turkey in 500 degree oven, open and baste bird, ever hour and check temperature, cooked at
      165 F, it's going to cook fast, best turkey ever, especially leftovers will not be dry.

    Your video of you pulling out the turkey neck made me laugh so hard.
    Why? Cuz it brought back a funny memory.
    I'm gunna tell you and it is ok to laugh. I'm 63 years old and I still laugh at it.
    When I was young, a younger teenager, I was with my stepmom at the grocery store. And when I saw turkey necks packaged up for sale, I think I said something like how gross those were. My step mom, Jan, asked what I thought they were, and I didn't want to say, so I kinda whispered it.
    I said it was the turkey (pecker), ya know, his thing.
    Lol
    OMG,
    Did my stepmom laugh so hard, ad did another lady who overheard what I said .......
    So funny. Such a funny memory.
    Thanks

    Dear I make my Thanksgiving the same way my grandmother did I make the dressing the potato salad The only thing I don't make that she used to make was pumpkin pie I buy that I'm too afraid to make a pumpkin pie I'm going to have to get up the guts and make one it scares me on that cuz my grandmother could make a pumpkin pie that would melt in your mouth there was me and another cousin of mine out of the whole entire family and she had six kids and a whole bunch of grandkids that she would fix Thanksgiving Christmas and the orange one she fixed pumpkin pie for for the longest time was me and that and God lover she would make two custards for my grandfather two custards pies for an Uncle by marriage she would make two buttermilk pies for my uncle her son she would make two chocolate pies and for me she would make two pumpkins and like I said for the longest time it was just my pumpkin until an uncle of mine her middle son his wife had a son that loved pumpkin and I didn't know it in one year he looked at me and he said I bet you I get the last piece and I looked at him and I was dead serious I said you want a bit he didn't get it I did lol

    Fascinating video! We hear so much about Thanksgiving here in the UK and it was genuinely interesting to see exactly what our US cousins make / eat to celebrate it. I personally couldn’t do do that “cream of” soup to save my life (🤢) and the orange cheese was just…🫣 to me. Evaporated milk…yeah, we use that in puddings, far too sweet for anything savoury. But then I saw the sweet potato casserole and realised that we really are on different planets so far as food is concerned! Nevertheless, I loved watching this and I hope that everyone on your side of the pond thoroughly enjoys their Thanksgiving feast, whatever it may comprise.

    • @TalesFromAnEmptyNest
      @TalesFromAnEmptyNest  5 дней назад

      Thank you! I’m always interested in how different countries do things as well. Lots of our cheese is yellow/orange here. Evaporated milk is not sweet here either. Our condensed milk is sweet, but the evaporated is not. It is only milk that has been cooked down with nothing added to it🙂
