This was great! My first year hosting Thanksgiving for our family and it went off without a hitch. Butterfling the turkey - who knew. PS hurleygirl1, I do agree on the ricotta stuffing, it didn't seem to give the turkey more flavor or moisture, but everything else on mine was awesome! Cranberrys are always tart if you used fresh cranberries - if you want something sweet, don't bother with cranberries!

11/17/2011 12:32:27 PM Report Abuse"Hosting Your First Thanksgiving" recipes were probably the most awul recipes I've ever tried. 1) the cranberry sauce was so tart that no one could tolerate a taste of it; 2) the cherry, sage, pecan stuffing tasted like a nutty salty sweet bread ; 3) the cinnamon butter for the sweet potatoes would have been better on toast; 4) the deboned turkey that looked like roasted road kill; 5) what was the purpose of stuffing ricotta cheese underneath the turkey skin???
