I decided I needed more turkey bits for my stock so I trotted over to Whole Foods and came back with a turkey back, neck, thigh and drumstick.
So that's currently broiling while the previous veg and neck are in the convection oven.
I think in half an hour I can combine them all into a holy PRE-stock pot. Very different in feel from the POST stockpot with the turkey carcass.
But i need stock before hand to do the gravy and the stuffing.
Anyway, the house smells great (lots of sage, lots of thyme, roasty turkey) AND it's warm and cozy.
I'm in full Bob Belcher mode now obsessing about every detail.
