The menu was almost identical to last year's menu: orange-flavored sweet potatoes with oatmeal cookie topping, mashed potatoes with caramelized shallots, creamed spinach, sauteed Brussells sprouts with chestnuts, cranberry fruit conserve, and gravy made from homemade turkey stock. The only changes were to the turkey (I roasted a deboned and butterflied turkey breast and some drumsticks and wings instead of an entire turkey) and the stuffing (I made a cornbread, apple and sausage stuffing instead of one with apple, challah, and chestnuts).
It did feel absurd to have that much food for four people, but we had so many delicious leftovers!
