Hey, we would have flattened you if the Brits hadn't been fighting France at the same time.

Not to derail the thread but I'll be doing this for Gobble Day.

One approx. 5-6 pound turkey breast – fully thawed.

Cut the breasts off of the bone, rinse well, and pat dry.

Brine:

1.5 cups water
1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
2 tbsp orange zest
2 tbsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp whole black peppercorns
8 sprigs fresh thyme

Bring everything to a boil and then let cool to room temperature.

Soak the breasts in the brine covered in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours. Use a non-reactive bowl. (Something that won't corrode from all of the salt and citric acid)

Heat oven to 350°. Pat the breasts dry and then rub them with good olive oil. Bake for about 1 hour or until the meat measures 160° at its thickest point.

Gravy:

Break up the bones from the turkey breast and add them to a large pot.
1 box low sodium chicken stock
2 carrots peeled and sliced into chunks
3 celery stocks sliced into chunks
2 bay leaves
1 tsp whole black peppercorns

Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour.
Strain the liquid into a saucepan and then whisk in about 2 tbsp of all purpose flour.
Simmer for about 20 minutes stirring constantly.
Strain again to remove any flour lumps.

Hmmm. I will be at my sister in laws watching football and yelling, "is that damn bird done yet!".

No, England would have flattened us, and then given you a biscuit for being a good boy.

No, you guys won. Quebec isn't one of our states and you burned Washington DC down. Points go to you.

Canadians? Yes. Most Americans aren't even aware it happened.

We in the UK don't even know what the **** Thanksgiving is, but the ridiculous Christmas campaign here starts in October and is cleverly designed to get people to spend a fortune every Christmas.
