Watergate Salad (late grandmothers recipe)
Serves approx. 30 people.

2 Big size tubs Cool-Whip
2 cans diced pineapple
2 8 oz. boxes pistachio pudding (not cook&serve)
1 package mini marshmallows.

Stir coolwhip and pudding until mixed. Add the rest of the ingredients.

That easy and very delicious!

Drain all the liquid off of the yams and dump into a glass baking dish
add the butter and Cinnamon
sprinkle the brown sugar over the entire dish of yams, depending on the size of pan you use, you may need to add more brown sugar, they must be completely covered
take the corn syrup and squirt it over the top of the brown sugar, make sure the syrup covers the bottom of the baking dish
cover with aluminum foil and bake in 350 degree oven for about an hour. when done the brown sugar and syrup makes a thick brown syrup and if it is not thick, still on the runny side bake longer until liquid thickens. sprinkle the mini marshmellows over the top of the yams and put back in oven to melt and turn light brown. (I turn my oven off for this because your so busy finishing up the rest of your dinner and the marshmellows will burn real fast if you leave oven on)

I promis you will not ever find any better candied yams than this recipe lol they are so good. Enjoy for those who try this recipe and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Prep Time:45 min
Start to Finish:5 hr 50 min
Makes:16 servings


Stuffing
1/2 cup butter or margarine
3 medium celery stalks, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
3/4 cup chopped onion
9 cups 1/2-inch cubes cornbread or soft bread
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried sage leaves, crumbled
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Turkey
1 whole turkey (12 lb), thawed if frozen
1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary leaves, crumbled
1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 2 teaspoons dried sage leaves, crumbled
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted


1. Heat oven to 325°F. In 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook celery and onion in butter about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender; remove from heat. In large bowl, mix celery mixture and remaining stuffing ingredients until well blended.
2. Stuff turkey just before roasting, not ahead of time. Fill wishbone area lightly with stuffing. Fasten neck skin to back with skewer. Fold wings across back with tips touching. Fill body cavity lightly. (Do not pack--stuffing will expand while cooking.) Tuck drumsticks under band of skin at tail, or tie together with heavy string, then tie to tail.
3. In small bowl, mix rosemary, 1 tablespoon sage, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the garlic; rub into turkey skin. Place turkey, breast side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Brush with 1/4 cup butter. Do not add water. Place meat thermometer in thickest part of inside thigh muscle so thermometer does not touch bone.
4. Roast uncovered 4 to 5 hours, brushing with pan juices every 30 minutes, until thermometer reads 180°F and juice of turkey is no longer pink when center of thigh is cut. Thermometer placed in center of stuffing will read 165°F when done.
5. Place foil loosely over turkey when it begins to turns golden. When turkey is two-thirds done, cut band of skin, or remove string or skewer holding legs. When turkey is done, place on warm platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Let stand about 20 minutes for easiest carving. While turkey is standing,
