Turkey Time! Week of November 23

So, here's the behind-the-scenes on our turducken party prep. This year, we won't be feeding 30+ folks, but will have a smaller, low-key get together with 8-10 folks. Here's the menu, with my prep schedule and cooking plans:

Herb and Cheese poppers - prepping on Sunday; cooking on Thursday
Hawks bars (the best version of brownies ever!)- Tues (pecans, ganache); Wed (brownies, caramel, assemble)
Pumpkin Cheesecake - Tues (crust), Wed (bake)
Spinach dip and fritos - prepping on Wed; heating on Thursday
Corn Pudding - prepping on Wed; baking on Thursday
Sourdough stuffing w/ sausage, apples and golden raisins
- prepping on Wed; finishing on Thursday
Cranberry sauce - fixing on Wednesday
Turducken - Thursday
Green beans and walnuts with lemon vinaigrette - Thursday

So, it will be a busy few days, but I'm building in some time to go watch the parade on Thursday!
