For many people, turkey day is tomorrow. If you're planning on making something, how goes your prep?

I've got a cornbread casserole in the oven, which has gone smoothly enough so far. However I do have to run to the grocery store to pick up all-purpose flour. Turns out we had less in stock than I expected, and we typically make a lot of cookies each year. Hopefully I'll be able to get in and out no worse for wear.

Edit: Sorry to everyone I didn't reply to. Seems there was some kind of federation issue with lemmy.world and I didn't see most of the comments until today.

Damn, that does sound tasty. I'm not the biggest turkey fan, either, but that setup sounds like it could work very nicely. The cranberry-orange relish also sounds good; I've seen a lot of cranberry sauce recipes recommend orange ingredients (juice, zest, peels), so I guess it makes sense that a relish made of both is a good combination. Hope it all turns out good.

I haven't had to make low-carb sweets in a few years. Do you use something like Erythritol? I think that's what I used to usually use. Or occasionally Stevia, which I think was like a mixture of Erythritol and Allulose.

    I used Xylitol for the cranberries because the other ingredients are an entire navel orange (yes the skin too, navel because seedless) and a bag of fresh cranberries. It's weird-good, and cold, so you can get away with the "cold" feel of xylitol. For the pies I used a mixture of Swerve (an erythritol blend) and Allulose.

    Nice. Might have to try out that cranberry-orange relish. Cranberry sauce rarely makes an appearance at our dinner table, but something like this might be more appealing

    It's best to make it a couple days ahead and let it sit covered in the back of the refrigerator. Easy to remember: one bag, one orange, one cup sugar or equivalent sweetener. And because it's not cooked you get all the vitamin C.
