Brine is similar to yours...usually toss in some garlic apple cider and cranberries as well.
Fried bird is out this year due to crowd size restrictions...but enjoy that as well.
Sides:
Mashed potatoes
Stuffing
Homemade Cranberry sauce (with a little Grand Marnier tossed in.)
Sweet Potatoes
Green bean casserole with the fired onions
Brussels Sprouts (halved, roasted in olive oil with herbs, bacon., breadcrumbs, a touch of red pepper and maple syrup)
Those are the staples with dinner rolls and gravy from pan drippings.
That's the spread this year. Usually a lot more when we're 30+ people but will be just 5 this year (and hopefully ONLY this year.)
