Y'ALL. We are less than two weeks out from Thanksgiving (drool). My heart is so ready for all the amazing southern food that I will consume during those 12 hours. Although it is super important to go home and spend that time with your family, it is also super important to spend time with those friends (that are even more like family) and let them know how much you appreciate them for all that they are. What better way to spend time with the friends you love, then with a FRIENDSGIVING FEAST.
If you plan on hosting Friendsgiving at your place, you'll want to make sure you have enough seats for all our guest and enough drinks to keep the party going all night long. I also suggest you make it a potluck!! You make the turkey or ham and maybe your favorite dessert & then get your friends to bring all your favorite sides! It not only takes the pressure off of you to cook everything but keeps the cost low!
Here is a super cute table idea that uses butcher paper & a sharpie to label where you want your guests to sit! It also makes for easy cleanup at the end of the night! Just roll it up & throw it out!
Turkey Tips & Tricks
Brine the Turkey- soak your turkey in a bath of half buttermilk & half turkey/chicken broth loaded with your favorite herbs and spices for a minimum of 24 hours before you plan on roasting the turkey. This will allow the turkey to absorb the moisture from the liquid a will result in a juicy, flavorful turkey once its cooked.
Butter underneath the skin- Mix softened butter with your favorite herbs and spices. And rub it underneath the skin of the turkey before you put it into the oven! The butter will melt into your turkey while flavoring with those herbs!
Cook turkey upside down for half the time and then flip it over for the second half of cooking!!
