Cold-Weather Minnesota Holiday Dinner, Step By Step

Minnesota holidays can be bitterly cold, so a hearty dinner planned before the week begins is a relief. The steps cover thawing the turkey, making stuffing, and baking yams next to mashed potatoes. Green bean casserole and pie are in the same notes if you want a fuller plate. Use this at Thanksgiving or when you host after Christmas. Stick with the dishes that will satisfy a winter appetite at your house.
