Thanksgiving for beginners. Urgent help please!
Help! It's my first thanksgiving in the USA and I have no idea
whatsoever about what's required. I'd hoped that we'd be invited to a
'proper' thanksgiving someplace else but none of his family came up to
bat, so I have to do it for us. We bought a 4-1/2 pound fresh turkey
breast (the smallest they had in the store), some potatoes and a sweet
potato to roast. What else do we need? In Australia turkey is a
christmas dish, but I've never been the one to do the cooking - my
uncle or my mother has! How do I roast the beast without ruining it?
What else do I need to buy at the market tonight to make this a
'proper' thanksgiving dinner?
BTW, there are only two of us, so we don't want to overload... we'll
be eating turkey for at least a week as it is!
