Stuffed turkey with herb butter.
It came out perfect. The meat was very moist, cooked perfectly until it reached 165ºF and then I let it rest for half hour before slicing it. While it rested, I made the gravy, which is not pictured, unfortunately.


Glazed carrots


Simple green beans

Not pictured there was also creamy mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes with maple syrup, and mushrooms with garlic. The traditional pies and ice cream for dessert couldn't be missing from this traditional american dinner.
