Black Friday Special

Thanksgiving seems to be all about indulgence - indulging on good eats on Thursday and indulging on consumer goods on Friday.  The excess is almost counter intuitive to the premise of giving thanks, but these are the times in which we live. 

I had sweet potato pie for breakfast, leftovers for lunch, another piece of pie after lunch...but I wasn't satisfied...I wanted poultry.  I thought about roasting a duck but I was hesitant because of the oven door glass fiasco. 

At 4pm I decided to brave the crowds and head to Godshall's...I was pleasantly surprised to find Reading Terminal navigable.  I placed my order and the kids were pressuring me to buy a turkey, which of course we don't need, so they suggested a turkey breast.  I went with a boneless turkey thigh because I didn't want leftovers.

I was home by 5pm, seasoned the turkey and put it in the marinator.  I had some miscellaneous veggies in the fridge so I put the sweet potatoes in the oven then made a medley of kale, cabbage, and carrots.  I browned the thighs, sauteed onions and celery, then I cooked the thighs under pressure for 25 minutes.  The gravy was delicious...I followed that up with a slice of sweet potato pie.
