Thanksgiving Dinner Recipes
Thanksgiving is a time of food. The Pilgrims worked hard to make the new world their home, and this was their celebration. Every year it’s a traditional meal. Turkey, sometimes ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, rolls or bread, pumpkin pie and apple pie, and a variety of other trimmings adorn the holiday table. Families gather not only to celebrate the historic event, but just to catch up with everyone’s lives. The food may be similar, but Thanksgiving dinner recipes have as much variety as the colors of the leaves on the November trees.
Doesn’t this appetizer sound delicious? Move the pumpkin from dessert to the start of the meal as a savory Pumpkin soup. Heat a tablespoon each of oil and butter over medium heat. Add three sliced leeks (only the white) and saute until the leeks are soft. Pumpkin puree, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and salt join the party. Stir that until well mixed, then pour in 32 ounces of vegetable broth. Add brown sugar. Simmer for 10 minutes over low heat. If desired pour a tsp or so of cream or half and half into the bowl before adding soup and a dash of cinnamon. That sounds good.
For the main course try frying the turkey instead of broiling it. You may think it’s greasy but it isn’t. The oil can’t penetrate the skin after the hot oil sears it. For this task a big oil pot and propane burner are used. Turkey fryers can be found in stores like Walmart. You’ll need two thermometers, one for the meat and one for the oil. Fry outside in a large open area. Get that oil hot, up to 350F. It’s finished cooking when the breast measures at 170F, which will take about three minutes per pound. It’s common to inject spices into the turkey during frying, but the dressing is usually not fried along with the turkey.
Pumpkin and sausage soup makes for a good appetizer too. Other appetizer possibilities also exist. Cheese wrapped asparagus is delicious. Both sliced and spread cheese go into this one. One idea is swiss cheese slices with a softer blue cheese spread. Wrap the asparagus with the slices spread with the soft cheese, then bake until tender at 230C. Sure wrapping cheese around asparagus turns a pretty healthy food into something a little more fattening. Thanksgiving is a time for a little fun. So live it up.
