Jive turkey

We're heading out to the market this morning to pick up the turkey we ordered two weeks ago. The weather is supposed to be pretty crappy, so wish us luck. Also on the shopping list are some brussels sprouts and some wine. Since it's Christmas Eve, we'll have our traditional cheese fondue meal today. The turkey is for Christmas Day.

Our Christmas turkey breast from 2003. We're doing something similar this year.

We plan to roast the turkey breast on a pile of stuffing. The photo above is the turkey (without its legs) we cooked in 2003, our first year in this house. The stuffing was made with rice; this year's will be made with cornbread. But you get the idea. The legs will be removed and made into confit (slow-cooked in duck fat), to be eaten later.

As they say in France: Bonnes fêtes de fin d'année ! et Bon réveillon !
