Happy Thanksgiving

Throughout the summer, we have been dishing out our family's favorite recipes. Now we are thrilled to invite you to our holiday table for Thanksgiving! Looking back on the past year we are more grateful than ever for our vibrant community, customers, and the cherished time we got to spend as a family.

Enjoy an Herb and Citrus Roasted Turkey, Creamy Golden Mashed Potatoes with a Browned Butter Make-Ahead Gravy, Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranates and Prosciutto, and a Caramel Pecan Apple Pie.

May your holidays be full of family, delicious food, and plenty of joy. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Schumacher Chevrolet!

Thanksgiving Timeline:

Because a little meal prep goes a long way towards your hosting sanity

4 days in advance: buy groceries (don't forget brining bags and extra wings for gravy)

3 days in advance: make the gravy

2 days in advance: buy your wine and prep your veggies (you can cut them in advance and store in ziplock bags for ease in cooking)

1 day in advance: brine the turkey, make the mashed potatoes, and make the pies. 

Thanksgiving day: Roast your turkey (plan for about 13 minutes per lb and 1 hour resting time), finish your sides, and pour yourself a glass of wine

Thanksgiving Prep Tips:

  1. Buy a fresh turkey not a frozen one. You will save yourself so much time and heartache by not having to defrost a massive bird.
  2. Brine your turkey (it's a safeguard for locking in moisture). Tip: brining bags make this super easy.
  3. Make your mashed potatoes in advance (the last thing you want is a mountain of dishes right before you serve dinner OR a facefull of steam right before you sit down with the family). Save a little butter and warmed milk to mix into the rewarmed potatoes so they will taste good as new.
  4. Use chicken wings/turkey wings to make a gravy in advance. This way no last minute seasoning and whisking (plus you can enjoy crispy wings as a meal). The drippings from your Thanksgiving turkey can be saved for more gravy which is always a blessing.
  5. Roast your veggies in advance of cooking the turkey. Then rewarm them as the turkey rests. You don't want to be switching oven temps or opening the door again and again which will make your turkey cook time much longer.
  6. Make your pies the night before and don't forget to buy ice cream.
