This was back in the day when the grannies enforced a strict holiday meal rotation.

Things are much better now that we've moved beyond that, and the cooking and hosting duties are left to those of us that actually enjoy it. πŸ˜‚

My aunt Sally was by far the worst when it comes to culinary crimes.

Her mashed potatoes were boiled potatoes, mashed. No fat, no dairy, no salt, no pepper, just dry-ass potatoes.

Her gravy was flavorless and had unpleasant chunks of giblets floating in it.

Her turkey? S O D R Y

My only secret for turkey gravy: when you make your stock (neck, wings, giblets EXCEPT for the liver, plus aromatics, bay, and whole black peppercorns)...

... add about 2 Tbs of apple cider vinegar to the pot.

We don't do it for Thanksgiving, but I enjoy a good vinegary (no mayo) slaw with red cabbage, julienned granny smith apple, just a bit of grated onion, and a healthy amount of whole grain mustard

I make a compound butter with salt, black pepper, Bell's seasoning, and smoked paprika that goes under the skin.

Then I take some roughly chopped celery, carrot, onion, and a lemon - toss that with a little more salt and poultry seasoning, and lightly fill the cavity.

Never had a complaint!

Too many people just take the turkey out of the bag and put it in the oven.

It needs seasoning! Inside the cavity and under the skin!

If you don't treat your turkey with respect, you're going to get a dry, tasteless turkey, and you'll deserve it.

Gravy is absolutely the key. Mom and I have been cooking the holiday meals together for a loooong time now, and I'm always responsible for the turkey, gravy, and stuffing. Mom usually does the pies and potatoes, and we decide on other sides a few days beforehand.

when hiring a head of T&S it is vitally important it be a generic white dude who's never once attempted to view life from any other perspective, bonus points awarded if he's incredibly condescending about it in the replies

I don't believe in that kind of superlative, but here are some that I think are very good for a variety of reasons:

Sweeney Todd

Urinetown
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Chicago
