More About This Menu
- The pickled okra, cranberry sauce, and pie dough can be made a couple days ahead; the day before, pickle the shrimp and and boil the eggs for the deviled eggs.
- To save time, several of the side dishes can also be prepped the day ahead: Make the mac and cheese through step 3, reserving the bread crumbs; assemble the cornbread stuffing and pop it into the fridge; and roast the sweet potatoes for the casserole.
- If you're serving a big crowd, sometimes the white meat can go too quickly. To solve this problem, we've starting making a stuffed turkey breast roulade in addition to the whole turkey—this version, stuffed with boudin, goes great with the rest of the spread.
