Thanksgiving Dinners- take 2 days to prepare and disappear in 15 minutes or less!

Halal Foodie has asked me to head up their Test Kitchen Column and my first assignment was turkey, just in time for Thanksgiving and Eid-Ul-Adha. They asked me to include tips on preparing turkey as a lot of people can be put off by the effort it takes. I figured I would do a small Thanksgiving spread for my family since we had to eat the turkey after all! So I prepared an International Fusion Spread for 10 and the menu was:

Traditional Stuffed Turkey
Traditional Gravy
Traditional Gingered Orange Cranberry Sauce
Matar Pulao (Peas & Rice) - Pakistani
Chilli Garlic Green Beans - Hakka Chinese
Greek Salad - Mediterranean
Corn Bread - Southern Comfort
Vichy Carrots (Glazed Carrots) - France
Potatoes with Herbs de Provence, Italian spices & Olive Oil - Italy/France
Yams (brought over by my cousin Dainty)
Pumpkin pie
Apple pie
Red velvet cheese cake
Basbousa
Thanksgiving themed chocolate/vanilla mixed cake
