Thanksgiving recipes (under construction!)

THE BIRD
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/good-eats-roast-turkey-recipe.html
Because 4,905 5-star reviews can't be all wrong

**timing
- thaw 2-3 days before
- brine overnight (Wednesday)
- cook time: 3-4 hours

THE STUFFING
http://www.number-2-pencil.com/2013/11/04/slow-cooker-stuffing/
Because I like the idea of putting a slow-cooker to use in this way, leaving other cooking surfaces available. Just sounds tasty too!

**timing
- guessing with all the chopping and sausage frying that it will take about an hour of prep
- cooks 4 hours on low in crock pot

GRAVY
