Thanksgiving is a time of food. Hard work in a new world led to success and to this 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. It's a time when families get together to celebrate history. The food may be similar, but Thanksgiving dinner recipes have as much variety as the colors of the leaves on the November trees.
How about this recipe for a delightful appetizer? Move the pumpkin from the pie to the soup. Heat a tablespoon each of oil and butter over medium heat. Add leaks to saute, only the white portion, until soft. Now throw in some pumpkin puree along with cloves, cinnamon, ground ginger and some salt. Stir that until well mixed, then pour in 32 ounces of vegetable broth. Stir in one quarter cup of brown sugar. Bring it to a low boil then let it simmer for 1 minutes. Cream or half and half are optional, along with a pinch of cinnamon on top of each bowl. Mmmm boy that's delicious.
Fried turkey is also good.You may think it's greasy but it isn't. The oil is so hot it doesn't flow into the meat. 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. Make sure to fry outside in a clear area. The oil must be between 325F and 35F. Cook it for 3 minutes per pound, until the breast is 17F. Frying a turkey doesn't involve cooking the stuffing inside the bird, but it does include spices directly injected into it.
Pumpkin and sausage soup makes for a good appetizer too. The list of delicious appetizers is endless. Give cheese wrapped asparagus a try. Both sliced and spread cheese go into this one. One idea is swiss cheese slices with a softer blue cheese spread. The slices are spread with the other cheese, wrapped around a few spears, and cooked at 23C until the asparagus is soft.
Ok, this way asparagus isn't healthy. Thanksgiving not happens everyday, so why not have a little bit time to put aside diet routine for a while - 16003
