Every family has a collection of Thanksgiving mishaps that, over time, become tall tales and fables. When that day of American feasting arrives, here are a few lessons I’ve learned from the Shirley family history of Thanksgiving cooking glitches: Always remember to turn on the oven that your turkey is in; it takes forever to cook a turkey at room temperature. Also remember to not use the broiler feature on the sweet potato casserole with the marshmallows on top. The marshmallows are flammable, and trying to beat the fire out with a towel just spreads the sweet napalm. Cats can be sneaky; keep them out of the house while you’re cooking. And a word of caution to the gourmet cook experimenting with hot peppers; I have found that children and grandparents are not overly fond of chipotle, habanero or Thai chilies in anything. That aside, this is a one-pan dressing that’s disaster-proof if you don’t forget to turn the oven on.
