Cooking in the Wild
If
you are on the road in a Roadtrek, or similar Class B+, during the
holidays, cooking a Thanksgiving meal takes on a different dimension.
Great for the outdoor family, it is rough on those of us that expect a
gourmet spread.
For
most RVers that love to boondock, this is what they live for on
holidays. Get out there with nature and cook over an open fire. If this
is your first time, follow the directions here and turkey with all the trimmings are yours to enjoy.

Turkey? Cooked In My Oven?
Thanksgiving Dinner in Your Small Oven, Oh yeah!
Check out this blog for great tips for cooking in a small oven.
"If
you are cooking in your RV this season, do not let a small kitchen get
in the way of having a spread that impresses even the in-laws!"
Cooking
Thanksgiving dinner in a small area, like an RV kitchen, is
challenging; although, not as challenging as the Pilgrim’s first
Thanksgiving. They did not have any ovens!"
Some creative ideas here,
but the most helpful tip for me was "cut the turkey in half." This is
not as easy as it sounds, although it is mentioned here that the
friendly butcher in the meat department at the market performs this
chore.
