I do hope you spent time preparing your pies and desserts yesterday. This will alleviate a good amount of holiday stress at your table. Today is a great day to begin preparing your side dishes. This way, come morning, you can literally stuff the bird, place it in the oven and rest for hours doing something you enjoy. Thanksgiving Day should not be full of complex activities.
Try preparing Candied Sweet Potatoes this afternoon. You can cook the potatoes, drain, and add all the toppings. Then just cover with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator till tomorrow. Grab your food processor and make Homemade Turkey Stuffing also. Cover and place next to the sweet potatoes. This way, when you stuff your Mayo Greek Roasted Turkey, it will take 15 minutes from stuffing to oven. And, if you tried it last year, you know what a deliciously moist bird this is!
One last dish you can prepare is Sesame Green Beans. This dish is economical and can be sautéed a day in advanced, wrapped in saran wrap, and placed in the refrigerator to be heated up before the big meal.
1 - 2 pounds of green beans
2 tsp. olive oil
2 - 3 cloves sliced garlic
1 -2 tab. sesame seeds
1 tab. soy a sauce
1 - 2 tsp. sesame oil
In a saucepan combine oil, garlic, and green beans. Sautee on low/medium for about 15 min. Add remaining ingredients and cook until slightly crips. Cover with Saran Wrap and place in refrigerator until the next day.
