We were planning on a very low-key Thanksgiving. Justin was scheduled to work on Thanksgiving, so we celebrated the night before at my parents' house. She had decided to order a deep-fried turkey from a friend at work, and we had all the standard sides to go with it.
We all should've seen the red flag when we cut into the meat and saw some redness, but we attributed it to it being deep-fried and not roasted since, after all, smoked turkey legs are red, too, right? How little we all knew.
Luckily, the kids and I didn't eat much turkey and stuck to the delicious sides to make room for the pumpkin pie desserts.
But everyone else.....

In the middle of the night, Justin woke me up because he was feeling feverish and crampy. Around 7am, I got a call from my mom saying she had gotten sick. Justin's dad also texted saying that he wasn't feeling well. The kids and I were totally fine. The most likely culprit? An undercooked deep-fried turkey.
Justin ended up having to take the day off from work, but I'm sure he would've rather gone in than deal with his food poisoning.
Lesson learned: stick to a roasted turkey, and do it ourselves!
Regardless, we are all still very grateful for our many blessings. And for that, we are always truly grateful.
