What to make with a whole roasted turkey?
I am roasting my first turkey by myself this week! We are trying to cook all the meat in our freezer and the whole frozen turkey in there needs to be cooked.
Mom has always cooked Thanksgiving when it was at our house, and I have never done it. So I'm roasting a turkey.
So here's my dilemma: I want to make one starchy side dish to have with my turkey and most likely steamed green beans. Since the turkey and the green beans will be relatively "safe" in flavor (there is a lot of thyme in the turkey, both on it and inside it, along with lemon garlic and onion inside the turkey), I want to make an interesting starch.
What do you think I should do? I don't want to do any traditional Thanksgiving type dishes, or if I do, it has to be an interesting take on the dish. Do you have any suggestions?
