Thanksgiving in May!

As I was talking about thawing a turkey that I found in the freezer yesterday, I started thinking about how great it will be to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal in May! I'm already looking forward to the turkey salad that I will make later in the week. I don't know why, but turkey salad, chicken salad and pimiento cheese are always best when they are homemade. I like a little poultry seasoning, celery and Hellman's Mayo mixed in with my turkey for sandwiches.

Another item that comes to mind when I think of a Thanksgiving meal is sweet potatoes-candied, roasted, in pies or casseroles...I just love them. My Aunt Sis used to make a great sweet potato pie, and "lucky you", I'm sharing her recipe today. It's only 'cause we're blog buddies! Enjoy!
