Food is the center of attention at Thanksgiving. 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. But just like the colors of the leaves, Thanksgiving dinner recipes can be an amazing variety.
How about this recipe for a delicious appetizer? Move the pumpkin from the pie to the soup. Butter and oil simmer over a medium heat. Add leaks to saute, only the white portion, until soft. Pumpkin puree, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and salt join the party. Now stir in some vegetable broth. Next comes brown sugar. Bring it to a low boil then let it simmer for 10 minutes. Cream or half and half are optional, along with a pinch of cinnamon on top of each bowl. Mmmm boy that's delicious.
A turkey can be fried instead of broiled. Don't worry, fried turkey isn't greasy. 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. Hot oil may spatter so do this in an open outdoor space. The oil must be between 325F and 350F. Cook it for 3 minutes per pound, until the breast is 170F. It's common to inject spices into the turkey during frying, but the dressing is usually not fried along with the turkey.
For some other soup ideas try curried pumpkin apple soup, butternut squash soup, or pumpkin and sausage soup. But there are other good appetizers for the meal. Give cheese wrapped asparagus a try. Both sliced and spread cheese go into this one. A blue cheese spread over slices of swiss can be good. The slices are spread with the other cheese, wrapped around a few spears, and cooked at 230C until the asparagus is soft. 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.
