It turned out pretty well, thanks for asking.
First of all, hope you had a great Turkey Day weekend, in whatever form it took this year. Loraine and I did, especially what with the World Cup going on and some surprisingly warm weather over the weekend, which allowed us to actually go out, ride bikes, and play soccer on Saturday,
There was also our annual turkey thingee on Turkey Day itself. It takes two days to stick together, but we're both quite happy with the end result--
It all started Wednesday night, when I roasted a turkey breast with rosemary butter and made home made cranberry sauce. Then Thursday I put those two ingredients together with cornbread stuffing and baby spinach, and topped the whole things with chopped pistachios.
20 minutes later at 350, and we had ourselves a feast. And, without tooting my own horn (too much), a pretty good feast at that.
I can't claim full credit for the dish; a couple of years ago Loraine found a recipe that called for some of the ingredients, and I just took it from there. It called for turkey cubes (whatever those are), but I went the roasted rosemary butter route. I also chose the cornbread stuffing instead of boring old white bread stuffing. The recipe called for dried cranberries; it was Loraine who suggested I make fresh sauce. And, for some strange reason (probably because this is America) the recipe called for the whole thing to be covered by half a pound of cheddar cheese.
Thankfully, Loraine thought of topping it with the chopped pistachios instead. Have I ever mentioned we make a pretty good team?

So that's how our Thanksgiving dinner turned out. Since Covid threw a wrench into our traditional Thanksgiving Day plans, we've had to adapt and to make new traditions. But you know what? With soccer and with a dish like the turkey casserole, I think it turned out okay.
I really do.
