With some prep work the day before and the main cooking on Thanksgiving day it was a busy day in the kitchen. 26 pound bird, German Potato dumplings, my German kraut with bacon, wild rice stuffing, vegies, snacks, apple pie,pumkin pie, and pecan pie and plenty of gravy. The bottom pic is bacon butter i made to put under the skin of the bird, put some in some beef stock for injecting the bird, and put some on top of the stuffing before baking it. Reinhard
