More Of Turkey Day Meal.

The day before Thanksgiving I started on the dough for my potato rolls. And here they are, ready to go into a 350 degree oven for about 8-10 minutes.

I like the extra touch of sweetness and color added by the sweet potato. Looking forward to ham sandwiches with these.

Next, I steamed some green beans until crispy/tender.

And I wanted an onion topping for the beans. I'd seen Alton on Food Network make this one and it looked pretty good. Just slice some onions and toss with flour, panko breadcrumbs, and salt and pepper.

Spread out on an oiled baking pan then put in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes, tossing frequently, until nicely browned.

OK, so everything I make doesn't always turn out exactly like I want it too. Apparently I didn't toss frequently enough. These turned out a bit overdone, but they were still good. Next up, my giblet gravy.

Liver on the left, gizzard on the right. I always trim off that tough silverskin on the gizzard. Then chop into small pieces.

We really like livers, so I bought extra chicken livers for the gravy.

Thinly slice some shrooms.

Saute the mushrooms in a little butter.

Add in the parts and saute until nicely browned.

Next I added about 1/4 cup of flour, cooked it for a couple of minutes, then added in some of the pan drippings and some chicken stock.

I always like to add in a bit of sherry to my gravies because I love the extra flavor it adds. And here, I'm adding some of my veal stock, which makes it thick, rich, 'n delishush.

Apparently some unknown person(s) got into my pumpkin pie last night and made a small dent. Daughter Hawthorne whipped the cream for me (with a little sugar and some vanilla) and is decorating the pie. No Kewl Whup or zip-lock bags with the tip cut off for me.

Ta daaaa.

And it's turkey time and the vultures are circling.

Here's my plate: From top left continuing clockwise, my stuffing, sweet potato casserole, corn pudding, potato roll with butter, green beans with breaded onion rings, turkey with giblet gravy, cranberry/pomegranate relish, and my favorite- the gateau of crepes. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
