Menu: A Chesapeake Bay Thanksgiving Nov 5th 2013, 20:32 Enlarge Credit: Beth Rooney The Menu Spicy Okra Pickles Roasted Oysters with Green Tomato Pickle and Cranberry-Horseradish Relish Creamed Spinach with Spiced Breadcrumbs Classic Roasted Vegetable Terrine Herb-Roasted Turkey with Hominy-Oyster, and Sausage Dressing Fresh Cranberry Relish Pumpkin Cheesecake Rum Bundt Cake Bourbon Pineapple Sweet Potato Casserole Roasted Glazed Pears Planning Tips Enlarge Credit: Helen Rosner The okra pickles, which need time for the vinegar and spices to permeate the okra, should be made at least two days ahead of time, though you can make them as much as a month in advance.  If you're working with a frozen bird, transfer it from freezer to refrigerator at least 48 hours in advance of when you want to put it in the oven to make sure that it has time to completely thaw. Use the day before Thanksgiving to prepare all side dishes, condiments, and desserts that can be made ahead of time, and to get a head start on multi-step dishes like the sugar-roasted pears. Assuming you're preparing a 16-pound turkey, it will take around four hours to roast, so be sure to allow plenty of time for it. The pears can be roasted while you eat so they're ready to serve after dinner.
