I dropped my wife off at the airport so she could fly to Florida to be with her mother for Thanksgiving. My youngest son is headed over around noon to hang a few hours while his girlfriend has dinner with her family.
So being down my wife and other children, I am planning a non-traditional turkey day. No turkey on the table today. My butcher had some nice prime strip steaks in the case. I had him cut me a almost 5lb "steak" which I will roast, fat side up. I have had it aging for 6 days so it is starting to dry down nicely. It will be roasted at 450 for 15 minutes, then down to 300 for maybe 30 minutes when I start checking the internal, pulling at 120-125, then rest for 20 minutes.
To go along I have garlic mashed potato's and mixed veggies in a cheese sauce.
I haven't picked the wine as of yet. Just one of the ready to drink bottles. Not one of my aged bottles that need to be prepped several days before decanting.
Before I have some shrimp and a few cheese selections to nibble on while watching the Lions game.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. GM Strong

I’m the certified oven master of the family. and as such, I am responsible for the turkey.
We got Mac and cheese, stuffing, melted broccoli and cheese, corn casserole, green beans wrapped in bacon with chopped almond nuts, dinner rolls, mash potatoes, with cranberry sauce and plenty of Jack Daniels and vodka.
And my wife is making her Goulash recipe from Germany, and homemade apple pies.

I had 2 smokers going....a 12lb turkey and 4lbs of kielbasa in one, and 6lbs of salmon in the other. Nothing like tending the fires on a brisk Thanksgiving morning while downing a few cold ones.

I have never even heard of melted broccoli before. I thought you were alive during the 70's? Maybe you should have been smoking stronger stuff.
