While the turkey cooks and the mimosas keep pouring, I’ll be serving up a day-long feast of college basketball.

Not all plays today will be full-feast material. 

 

Here’s today’s rating system:

Side Dish = Small Play
Main Course = Medium Play
Full Feast = Big Play

It’s 4 AM in Las Vegas and I’ve kicked things off with an Irish coffee. I’m running the feast at my place today: a 22 lb, three-day dry-brined turkey, HoneyBaked ham, grandma’s stuffing, candied yams, creamed peas, fresh green beans, mashed potatoes, sausage & sage gravy plus pan turkey gravy, fresh rolls, and a full pie spread—apple, pumpkin, cherry, pecan with Cool Whip and vanilla ice cream.

 

Yeah… I’ve got this. an_2drinks

The key to a perfect turkey pan gravy is what you put in the roasting pan while the bird is cooking.

 

Use 3 cups chicken stock, then add:

 

A few sprigs of rosemary, sage, and thyme

carrot, onion, and celery

just a couple of garlic cloves

 

 

As the fat and juices render into that mix… forget about it — that’s gravy gold right there.

The Irish coffees went down a little slow, but the caffeine was needed. I grabbed a gallon of fresh-squeezed OJ from the breakfast spot by my house and slid over to mimosas. The key is pacing — you definitely don’t want to peak at noon. At least, that’s the game plan.an_2drinks
