Turkey Day Eats

I have been hemming and hawing over cooking a turkey; It is so much work and prep time... but on last minute impulse, ended up placing an order for a small Diestel Organic turkey. Regardless of what we do for Turkey day, it is nice to have turkey leftovers that we can enjoy for the week. Then we'll be turkeyed out til next year!

Last year I cooked my very first turkey following the recipe posted by NomNomPaleo, one of my favorite Paleo foodie bloggers. I might be biased, but it was definitely up there in taste. So, this year, I plan to do it again, NomNomPaleo's Butterflied (Spatchcocked) Bird.

And for a new recipe to try, I am looking forward to cooking one experimental dish.. and this is it --> Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spiced Apples. Planning on modifying the recipe by reducing the sugar and switching it from brown sugar to coconut sugar.

And that's it! Keeping it simple but hopefully high quality of fresh and healthy-ish!

Update : May need to add another dish to try too... this one --> Crispy Sweet Potato Roast
