I put butter melt mix with brown sugar and chopped the walnuts to spread on the top of mashed butternut squash. I made that every year for Thanksgiving's Day. :)

What about Homemade Pumpkin Pie than Canned from Libby's?
All you do is buy pumpkin, clean seeds from inside, cut halves, put in the oven, cool off, shave them out of skin, blender into Puree, get Indigestion to mixture, pour in the pie crust, and put in the oven. Sound Yummy?

All those recipes sound yummy! I especially like the ones for butternut squash. Mmm..

My hubby cooks our turkey in a deep fryer outdoors. It is popular here in the South. He injects the turkey with marinade before cooking. He uses peanut oil for the frying.

The first time he cooked it that way I expected it to taste greasy. I was very surprised. It is not greasy. The oil is all drained off before serving.

It takes about one hour to cook a 20-lb turkey.
