Also, the Fugee Brother's family had Thanksgiving with my SIL's family so it was just 5 adults and 2 toddlers.
I followed the Cook's Illustrated directions for brining then air-drying the turkey and also for roasting it first bottoms up at 425 and then breast up at 350. It was juicy with crisp skin. Yum.

We did a brined turkey, spaetzle with gruyere, sauteed brussels sprouts, home-made cranberry relish, and a family stuffing recipe. All came out very well. Apple pie and gooey-butter-pumpkin cake were also a hit.
