  • Alison Roman makes a very big Thanksgiving dinner in her very small kitchen (with an extremely small refrigerator and even smaller oven). She's made some of the classics, like a dry-brined turkey with sheet-pan gravy and buttered stuffing with celery and leeks, but you won't find pumpkin pie on her menu. This year, Alison does Thanksgiving her way. And yes, that means layering jellied cranberry with oranges and onions. Read the full story: nyti.ms/2KrxuWj

    My partner passed away last year in April and my mom moved to California and my dad moved to Texas. my siblings moved as well. Aside from my little brother who lives with me. Ive been feeling a bit down about the holidays alone. I didnt really know how i would be able to enjoy them. but after watching this video, and seeing the environment that was created with hosting Thanksgiving with just good friends, and good food. IDK it just kinda made me excited about next year. Makes me want to the same with all of my friends. Pretty random i know but just thought i would say thanks for doing that.

      Friendsgiving is a thing nowadays. It's so much fun and drama is kept to a minimum. Some of the best Thanksgivings I had was with friends when I couldn't go home while in college. After I got married we gathered up with my in-laws. It was nice & dull w/ some family drama. Boo! After they passed I went back to a mix of family & friends. Thanksgiving is fun again. Have the dinner be potluck. It works out wonderfully. I have a feeling that you'll have fun & make great memories.

    Why did I just watch a near 40 minute video? Do I live own my own? No. Do I cook Thanksgiving dinner for the whole family? No. Do I even eat turkey? No. But I absolutely loved every minute of this and I don't know why. This woman deserves her own cooking show on the Food Network.

    I made your turkey, your stuffing, and your green beans this Thanksgiving. Such a hit! I bake sourdough bread, so I used it for the stuffing. It was THE BEST stuffing I've ever had, and I'm not over-exaggerating that. People were raving about it and wanting the recipe. The green beans were so good and complimented the meal as a nice healthy vegetable, instead of heavy "green bean casserole." Thank you very much!

It was great to see Alison rush at the end. That's me in a nutshell. What's important is that my friends keep my champagne flute stays topped during the last hour of cooking.

    What I love is the fearlessness of your commitment to creating something for the season and many of your friends - and videotaping it for us. I am also a cook and I love breaking conventions once I discover a better way. When I cook with my children they are allowed to take part and do what they think is tasty. I'm now 78 and both of my boys are chefs. I taught them as you cook - and they create wonderful food. You are a joy to watch.

    Last year was my very first Thanksgiving, and I was super nervous because there were a lot of firsts for me. I'm still a somewhat new cook, and I'd never done my own turkey, or stuffing, etc. But I knew I wanted to do a lot of things from scratch. I was honestly delighted when I found this video, because it gave me a lot of confidence and inspiration for our own dinner, and made cooking the turkey a LOT less intimidating.
    Also, can HIGHLY recommend the way she cooked her turkey in this video, especially with the garlic, lemon, and onions. Even the brine, basic as she said it was. The turkey was incredible, and I think it's how I'll do mine moving forward!
