A Tale of Two Turkeys

Two. Turkeys. For eleven people. One was mesquite smoked on the grill on Wednesday; the other herb-roasted on Thanksgiving. Gavin took over the bread-making responsibility. There was herb-sausage stuffing, cranberry orange relish, succotash, mashed potatoes seasoned with Fox Point herb mix from Penzeys, and the orange-glazed sweet potatoes. For dessert, four pies, two pumpkin, one apple and a pecan. And now we have... leftovers!

Thirty seven pounds of turkey for eleven people, five of whom are young men between the ages of 17 and 27. Three of those young men lift weights and consume vast amounts of calories.
