New Year's Day Feast

Well, we had a New Year's Day Feast this year because my in-laws were here and I had a good excuse to make a lot of food. All of the recipes came from the November 2004 issue of Bon Appetit. I made the herb brined turkey with pear gravy, goat cheese mashed potatoes, sweet potato tort, pumpkin profiteroles, salad with lemon vinaigrette dressing, and sausage fennel stuffing. Everyone was very happy with the spread. My father in law really enjoyed the sweet potato tort and the turkey was very moist and juicy. It was fabulous.
