Confit Turkey Thighs and Legs

We think this confit turkey will replace all the others that we have tried. My sister used the apricot glaze from the turkey below instead of the mustard one called for in this recipe.

Corn and Hominy Pudding

This was a HUGE hit! Everyone says we now have to make it every year.

French Onion Stuffing/Dressing- very good, moist, don't forget to crisp the top at the end

NY Times recipe - I added chestnuts and used fresh shiitakes and oyster mushrooms instead of button.
