First, and probably the staple of your feast is Turkey. Check out this recipe we found from All Recipes!

Ingredients: 

• 1 whole turkey (neck and giblets removed)

• 2 cups kosher salt

• 1/2 cup melted butter

• 4 stalks chopped celery

• 2 sprigs of fresh thyme

• 1 bay leaf

• 1 cup dry white wine

• 2 large onions (peeled and chopped)

• 4 carrots (peeled and chopped)

Directions: 

Rub your turkey inside and out with your kosher salt and place your turkey in a large stockpot, and cover it with cold water. Place in the refrigerator and allow the turkey to soak for around 12 hours.

Preheat your oven to around 350 degrees. Rinse your turkey and dump the brine mixture. Then brush your turkey with the 1/2 melted butter and place it breast side down on a roasting rack in a shallow roasting pan. Stuff the turkey cavity with 1 onion, 1/2 carrots, 1/2 celery, 1 sprig of thyme, and the bay leaf. Scatter the remaining vegetables and thyme around the bottom of the roasting pan and cover with your white wine. Roast your turkey uncovered for 3 1/2 to 4 hours (this is for an 18-pound turkey) until the internal temperature reaches 18- degrees. Turn the turkey breast side up about 2/3 through the roasting time and brush it with the remaining butter. Let the turkey cool for about 30 minutes before you carve it.
