I spent most of the day cooking dinner. I made my own naan on Sunday, and some Amandine yesterday. For the Amandine, I followed the recipe in the link exactly except that I added about a teaspoon of Almond extract to the filling along with about a handful of almonds that I crushed into a fine powder.
So today, I made some Persian Pomegranate Soup, some Stuffed Lenten Eggplants, quinoa with cranberries and almonds, homemade hummus, and then the turkey smothered with curry powder. Oh, and a pumpkin pie... it's basically a mandatory dish along with homemade whipped cream. I got tons of compliments about how well the turkey came out, everyone said it was perfectly cooked, so it goes to show that the breaking down method is the best way to go about cooking the bird, and it only took 1 hour and 45 minutes to cook even though it was a 19 pound turkey.
