What's for dinner tonight? Dinner ideas?

Christmas Turkey tonight! 24# bird brined for 48 hours in an 8 gallon bucket.

This is a SWMBO operation after my brining effort, so it goes inside the kitchen oven. Soon the whole house will have the wonderful aroma of this tasty big bird. Merry Christmas to the Traeger Forum!

Wife totally satisfied again!!!
 
Quiet Christmas dinner, just 3. The vegan daughter was home, so we had vegan Christmas tamales with rice and beans. It was good, but I think my heart shrunk one size smaller.

My New Year's resolution is to master pork, and if I have to eat it alone, so be it!
 
Christmas Turkey is resting. Now to work on the giblet gravy, crescent rolls, & heat up the stuffing that did not fit in this bird. Man it is juicy. Tough job moving it from the roaster pan to the platter.

Lookin good!
 
Most of our Christmas dinner was cooked on the Traeger! Huge hit for the family, they said it was one of the best dinners we've ever made.
