My thoughts:
We had my blood brother together with his girl over for our annual Faux Thanksgiving together with then I could prepare these recipes to share. I was a piddling nervous nearly my theme* this year, figs, because I've constitute they are non something people ever bask or are familiar alongside exterior of the Newton. I shouldn't bring worried because they actually liked it! The glaze helps sell inwards the juices of the turkey together with eliminated the demand for basting, which I appreciate. The pare was slightly gummy precisely non inwards a bad way. I'd rather bring a glazed pare than a dried out bird! Stuffing the cavity alongside fruit together with vegetables instead of stuffing makes for a moister turkey every bit well. There is however air circulation (yay for no nutrient poisoning!) precisely it generates to a greater extent than or less steam that seems to help.

*I practise a topic each yr because 1. it is fun 2. it helps alongside planning/shopping when yous tin operate the same component subdivision inwards to a greater extent than than ane dish. Look for to a greater extent than or less other figgy recipe side past times side week!
