Yes, it’s Amy’s first time cooking a turkey…

In 1983, I was in Sydney, Australia during Thanksgiving. One of my Aussie friends decided she was going to do a “traditional” Thanksgiving turkey dinner for her new-found Yank buddies.
It was the thought that counted. She bent over backwards to get a turkey, sweet potatoes, etc. But what she did to it all was unusual. You see, she thought that you stuffed the turkey with the sweet potatoes…
Let your imagination run rampant from there.
A surprising amount of “pumpkin” foods are made from sweet potatoes.
