The roast turkey is one of the main Thanksgiving traditions in the United States. The exact origin of the custom is not known, but it is believed to be an adaptation of an English tradition. In the old days, cooking geese was a way to celebrate at feasts.
The turkey is roasted and served with some side dishes. The most common is the stuffing, which is in fact, cooked separately from the turkey and not put inside it. This is to keep the stuffing with crunchy, crispy top pieces and a soft middle.
The stuffing can be prepared with different kinds of bread. The ones which are often used are sourdough, brioche and cornbread. They can be fresh or stale.

Line the pastry with baking parchment and baking beans, then bake for 15 mins. Remove the beans and paper, and cook for a further 10 mins until the base is pale golden and biscuity. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.

Mix in the beaten eggs, melted butter and milk, then add to the pumpkin purée and stir to combine. Pour into the tart shell and cook for 10 mins, then reduce the temperature to 180C. Continue to bake for 35-40 mins until the filling has just set.
