I rarely pick a story from another writer and put it down on the table as is but I could not pass on the chance to excerpt The No-Cook Thanksgiving Dinner by Stefania Pomponi Butler, the City Mama.
Here is her recipe for a Stress Free Turkey:
"When we were younger, Thanksgiving was all about being together at home. We’d spend the day tending to the turkey while watching football or just hanging out. My mom would bust out the nosh around noon patés, dips, crudités, chilled seafood—and we’d nibble the afternoon away as guests arrived until it was time for dinner which we always ate at dinner time. Now that we’re all grown and live in different places, we’ve embraced the new tradition of going out for our Thanksgiving dinner when we are together.
The upside to going out is not having to spend all day cooking and polishing silver, and not having to scrub any greasy roasting pans or crusty mashed potato bowls. The downside to going out is not having any tasty leftovers, so we always cook a Thanksgiving dinner as well, but we usually do it on the Saturday or Sunday after Thanksgiving."

By the way, it was published on the Kango Blog.

I personally kinda feel funny going out on a holiday like Thanksgiving or Christmas. I don't think people should work on these days but that's me.
