On Thanksgiving, it's easy to overlook the main event for all the delicious sides. But with a turkey like this one, it's hard to deny the glory of such a proud bird.

Though many lust after a particular side dish, a turkey this juicy and golden reigns over any Thanksgiving table. As first-time Thanksgiving hosts know, it can be both the centerpiece and the biggest concern. (Ever see the deflated bird in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation? If only the Griswolds had tried our brine recipe.) Nonetheless, Flickr user Coconut Recipe's perfectly roasted example is an inspiration.

I had a harder time finding dessert recipes, since at an earlier party I raised the bar way too high with a Mocha Mousse Parfait with Kahlua Cream. I tried my hand at a Godiva Chocolate Gingerbread Soufflés with Cranberry Sabayon. I was actually browsing the website since I’m currently promoting the Godiva giveaway (http://www.godivagiveaway.com), which gives shoppers a $10 gift card with a $50 purchase -- but there are so many things you can do with Godiva chocolate, and baking is one of them. The souffle was a pretty big hit, though it certainly didn't detract from the turkey's popularity!

Anyone else have good dessert tips for Christmas?
