What are some of your favorite Thanksgiving items and add how to make them please
-
Cranberrry sauce.
Step 1: open can
I think that's about it.
-
Filets, marinated in a black pepper and onion marinade overnight, over the grill in the afternoon after Thanksgiving lunch with a cold one in hand and football on the TV.
-
My mom made the best stuffing ever, IMO. Depending on how much you want to make, cut up slightly stale white bread, mix it with melted margarine, cut up celery and onions, and season with sage, salt and pepper. It's especially awesome when it's cooked inside the turkey. Yeah, it's plain and simple, BUT it's a reminder of past times sitting around the Thanksgiving table as a child.
I also make a yam casserole. Cut up yams, place in a greased glass pan and cover with dots of margarine, brown sugar, cashews, peaches, and bake at 350 until the yams are tender. Top with marshmallows in the last five minutes until they melt.
As I get older, I've realized some of the best recipes in my repetoire don't necessarily use measurements. Sorta like our pioneer women. Of course, at least I don't have to chase the chicken around the yard!! :-)
-
Cresent Rolls.....buy can, open lay on cookie sheet. bake. Add butter then dip in Turkey juice.
-
Some of y'all are plain lazy..... I go for the standard fare. Turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce and usually pecan pie for dessert, but sometimes pumpkin or both and with whipped cream. ALL home made. If I have rolls with the meal, those are usually store bought, but NOT the ones from a can.
-
Whatever quells the bile in my stomach that comes from too much vodka and the bitter scorn of my ****ing in-laws... :banghead:

I agree. My sister is a good cook. :)

I'm with Thor. A couple of things, though.
I brine the turkey. It's absolutely GREAT what happens to the bird after brining. White meat that's full of flavor and juiciness.
I made a cornbread stuffing the other day that I really liked. Baked my own cornbread, with cranberries, walnuts, sweated onions/celery/garlic, sage, rosemary, and held together with chicken broth. Bake for 30 minutes, done.
Stuffing often takes the consistency of wallpaper glue - yuk. And I absolutely WILL NOT stuff a bird. Too much of a pain in the ass.
Mashed, with gravy; baked rolls, pumpkin pie with real whipped cream; salad to start off - we're not terribly big on hot, cooked vegetables.

A food blog I get regular updates to has been doing Thanksgiving threads all week. These guys must have cooked a dozen turkeys by now. I've never had a fried turkey and I've never had one that wasn't roasted whole, but this guy cut up one of his turkeys like a chicken and started cooking the dark meat (wings, legs) 20-25 minutes before the rest of the bird. They also did a buffalo-fried turkey, slathered in hot sauce, and served with bleu cheese dressing.

I made a boo-boo one Thanksgiving and got a few people sick, at least I think. It's tough for me to tell because one of my ex bro in laws brought over his kids and one had the flu. Regardless, just for safety's sake, I typically make "dressing" vs "stuffing"... and since then, I never ever stuff a bird. Ohh, and Eupher?? tried that brining trick once and I didn't like the taste afterwards. The bird WAS juicy, but it took on flavors I didn't care for. I used Alton Brown's brining recipe. (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/good-eats-roast-turkey-recipe/index.html) (I didn't have ALL of the ingredients and this isn't the same as what he originally had) I can do just as well by just roasting the turkey. Just gotta watch the temps.
Chris, I've had deep fried turkey before. Honestly, it's OK, at best. The theory is that the oil seals in the juices. The important thing is to let the bird rest after any type of cooking.
-
My parents are going out of town, so I'm at my brother's mercy for Thanksgiving food. I don't know if anyone else is showing up... probably not, since most of the usual suspects have moved to Texas. If it was just me, I'd make a rib roast.

I've done that one Thanksgiving, too. A nice Prime Rib. It was tasty, but WAY overcooked for me.

Everything homemade on Thanksgiving.
Fried turkey
dressing (yummy)
green bean casserole
broccoli cheese rice casserole
mac-n-cheese
this year I am trying twice baked potato casserole
sweet potato casserole
yes deviled eggs will make an appearance
some cranberry crap my mom makes that everyone loves but me
fruity fluffy stuff that I don't eat
I am leaving a lot out I know
desserts:
pecan pie
pumpkin pie
apple pie
caramel cake
coconut cream cake
-
Another one that is good is a family recipe. It's chicken cornbread dressing. It is the best.
There is this sweet potato souffle that they make that is also good.

Yeah, Alton's was the same one I used. I liked it. But then again, I had ALL the ingredients, you knothead. Bitchslapped for being lazy. :tongue:

Bou! That is the SAME stuffing I grew up with! Exactly the SAME! :cheersmate:
-
I have to go to the boyfriend's family. The menu goes as follows:
Overcooked turkey, too late for everything else
Canned Yams with stupid marshmallows
Instant Mashed Potatoes
Cornbread Dressing from a box
Green Bean Casserole, you know the drill
Canned Cranberry Sauce
Celery sticks stuffed with cream cheese
Pies
Store bought crust filled with canned fillings.
No booze.
(I pack a flask of vodka and wear a hoodie to hide it in my pocket.)
Everyone is a yeller, cept for boyfriend, and there are children. Screaming children.

I need to bring a veggie dish to work on Black Friday any suggestions
-

All I tasted were the peppercorns...... didn't like hat so much. And...... I wasn't lazy as I did ALL of the prep AND all of the cooking BY MYSELF, so..... :bird:
and a BS in return!! :tongue:

Dang, that's awesome stuffing, isn't it?
I forgot to mention in my last post that Mom (and now I) put the bread cubes, melted margarine, onions, celery, sage, salt and pepper in the bread bag and shove it in the fridge overnight to give the flavors time to meld.
This Thanksgiving Day I'm cheating a bit on the bird. The commissary was selling a freezer to oven turkey, the one I bought is 10 pounds since it's just hubby, daughter, son and grandson. For an almost two-year old that boy puts away gargantuan amounts of grandma's cooking. O-)
My daughter came home tonight and asked me to help her make my yam casserole for her office potluck tomorrow. She said she refused to have a Thanksgiving potluck without yams and thought her coworkers might appreciate something besides mac and cheese salads, which apparently several are making. Hmm, we never had mac and cheese for Thanksgiving when I was growing up, but I see from soleil's menu that others do.
I was digging in my Southern Living cookbooks for the cranberry sauce recipe I made last year, but stumbled upon yet another one which sounds even better! The one from last year only called for Gran Marnier, this one also has port. :hyper:
Four ingredients, cranberries, sugar, orange liqueur (to me this means Gran Marnier) and port. There's a bit of boilin, pureeing and chilling involved, but it's gonna be worth it.

Excuse my "french", but that's fu*ked up.
My mom and dad make the traditional dinner. Stuffed bird, taters, ect... NOTHING out of a box. My mother's gravy is to die for. It's an almost black/brown color and nice and shiney with fat. :drool: My daughter always asks if Grandma is going to make "the" gravy. :-)

It sure is. I came from a "from scratch" family. It makes me sad. But, I stay sad on the inside, because his parents get so much joy from it. They are both disabled, and they LOVE this kind of stuff. I brought homemade cranberry chutney last year, and no one ate it. :( That's all right. Somewhere in between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I make my own holiday meal, for people to come eat. And, they bring something. We all split to-go boxes, and have something to eat on until the holidays.
What's worse? Christmas. They make the screaming children wait until AFTER Christmas Dinner and Dessert to open presents. :thatsright:

So cut back on the peppercorns, you dolt! Ever hear of "adjusting recipes to suit one's tastes?" It's a novel concept! :hammer:
I'm sold on the brining - definitely helps the white meat stay moist - fiddling with oven temps is an iffy thing at best, so I'll let the salt do the work for me. O-)

Well, duh, no , I NEVER thought of that.... ::) [/sarcasm]
Seriously, I don't have the space to attempt that now. Up North, in MN, it was usually cold enough that I really didn't need to worry about fridge space. It's bad enough finding space for the turkey to begin with, let lone the 5 gallon bucket required for brining. (I don't "do" small turkeys cuz I likes leftovers!! )

I bought a plastic bin/washtub at Walmart for $3 that I use. Just put the bird in the brine, cover it up, and let it sit outdoors for 6 hours or so. Screw the "keep it refrigerated" crap. The bird will be fine in 40 degree weather.

40 degree weather in Texas?!?!?!? YGBSM......... :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

Stuffing! :-)

The plan is to have Turkey, stuffing mashed potatoes and of course pie. I sometimes make a spinach casserole. This casserole has bacon, cheddar cheese, sour cream tomatoes and onions. it is a pain to make pricey too. Just depends on how I feel .

What's worse? Christmas. They make the screaming children wait until AFTER Christmas Dinner and Dessert to open presents. :thatsright:
Oh man- that's horrible! Is that Christmas night or eve? We grew up opening gifts at my grandparents after dinner on Christmas eve. We didn't scream, but boy, we sure were impatient. Grandma insisted on washing dishes (no dishwasher) and then taking a boatload of pics before we could dive into the presents. Santa left big gifts on the front porch. He liked us so much, he made special deliveries before everyone else got them on Christmas morning. It helped that my brother informed me there was no Santa when I was in kindergarten. We played along for me younger sister though.

They need to be beheaded. At least my wife's family will do the Christmas eve thing. Open presents in the evening and then have sandwiches, cold cuts and chili. Strange, but I kinda liked it. (they are full blood Germans, WTF?)
-
Nobody in my family likes dark meat, so we buy a couple of turkey breasts (not that rolled crap though). My brother has fried those the last few years.
Our menu:
turkey
cornbread dressing
green beans
cranberry salad + cranberry sauce straight out of the can for me
mashed potatoes
watergate salad
pumpkin pie
pecan pie

BF and his sister grew up with the tradition of going to church, then breakfast, then home for unwrapping. Sister's husband is Nicaraguan, so they do a family thing on Christmas Eve, at his mom's, after Midnight. Then they go home, sleep for a few hours, get up the next day and start cooking. Dinner is typically at 2:30 or 3:00, and unwrapping starts at about 4-5 or so.
My Mom had a rule that she had to have her first cup of coffee, and cigarette first. The very first thing my brother and I learned to do in the kitchen was brew coffee. :whatever:

One would think, but nope. Everyone in the family is either super duper Baptist, or Pentacostal.

Haaaa!! Not sure if it was named after the Watergate hotel, Nixon favorite, or something else entirely.
Oh my gosh- it's so good! I'm not normally one for 70s style jello salads, but this one is different. It has the following:
dry pistachio pudding
cool whip
pecans
pineapple
we sub sour cream for part of the cool whip to cut the sweet.
Make it the day before so the flavors have time to develop.
If you want to make it, let me know. I'll send you the recipe I use. This is what it looks like:

Of course AFTER the Holidays....... I can only remember ONE White Christmas in Texas and that was Christmas of 75. I was coming home from Millington, TN on Christmas leave. Got home to about 8" of snow on the ground. House looked like a Christmas Card....
-
I have a simple recipe for mashed sweet potato that isn't as horribly sweet as some of the others I've been served. Good luck finding boniato (bon-yah-tow) if you don't live near some overpriced liberal hellhole like I do.
sweet potatoes
boniato (about half as much boniato to sweet potato)
cinnamon and brown sugar, salt and pepper
Also, I like roasted parsnips and onions.

I'm still trying to figure out what my company's holiday policy is for Christmas. I either have a 4-day weekend, or I'm stranded from Christmas Eve until after New Year's. If the latter is the case, I'll take a trip to North Carolina to visit my dad and I'll be happy to do the cooking.

The cooking wouldn't bother me so much, if that was all I had to deal with. The screaming children push me over the edge.

I might have to deal with that. There's my step-mother's might-be-gay-but-nobody-can-tell daughter or the wife's grand-daughter from another marriage they adopted that has two mentally retarded parents and serious behavior issues. But I miss my dad and I'll willingly put up with all that crap to see him again. :(

Do you get beer?
-
Probably not since I would have to drive to their house and back and they don't drink. I might get a glass of wine or two.
At least the granddaughter is past the screaming meemies stage. I think.

What I do when the noise in the room is out of control. One I put earplugs in, the kind you buy for shooting. I put it in my good ear. The other thing I do is take my mP3 player and put it in a pocket, put the earphone in one ear and listen to replays of talk radio. No one seems to notice that. I can still hear but not as much.

We're doing Thanksgiving here this year.. at the "begging" request of my daughter....just us, son, daughter, son-in-law and the grandbabies (almost 4 and just turned one) and a friend of my son's who's family lives in Maine. Planning on eating around 6:30.
Daughter and her crew are going to her husband's family for huge Thanksgiving lunch at 1. So we decided we would have favorites that we wanted for leftovers.... :-)
Turkey
Stuffing
Mashed Potatoes (Yukon Golds, butter, sour cream, salt, pepper, Emeril's original seasoning)
Gravy
Green Bean Casserole
Steamed Broccoli with lemon butter sauce
Romaine lettuce with red onion, chopped apple, dried cranberries, candied pecans w a strawberry vinegrette.
Sister Schubert rolls
Pumpkin Pie w cinnamon whipped cream
Turtle Cheesecake.
I still stuff the turkey. I have a turkey roaster oven that I cook it in and it's wonderful. Turkey comes out really moist.
I usually buy about a 22 pounder that has the butter injected.
I saute chopped onion and celery and slice mushrooms in 3 sticks of butter, add parsley, and a bit of chopped garlic, sage, thyme, pepper. I heat up 3 cans of chicken broth....I like Swanson's and add a bit of chicken bouillion granules to it while heating. Add all that to 2 bags of Pepperidge Farm stuffing cubes. Adjust the seasonings, adding salt if needed. More melted butter and/or chicken broth if needed.
M stuffs the bird, and the leftover goes into a casserole dish to bake. I add more butter under the skin of the turkey, and rub more all over the top and the legs, sprinkle with some paprika.
It cooks much faster in the turkey roaster, use the drippings for the base of my gravy. I cook the neck and "nasty" parts in chicken broth for several hours, strain off the liquid and add it to the drippings, along with the slivers of neck meat.
None of us really like sweet potatoes or cranberries, so they are off the menu. :-)
-
All 26 of my family (11 immediate family, 10 grandkids, 5 spouses). Should be loud, and we all are making homemade dishes this year. Still haven't decided what I am making.
-
Thanksgiiving is with wife's family. (Christmas is with mine)
This year, we don't have to fix anything, but expect to have roasted turkey, baked ham, Dirty Rice (rice dressing), green beans with new potatoes, potato salad, oyster gumbo, prolly duck stew, potato salad, various desserts... and lots of great fellowship and fun...

That's the thing that drives me nuts, too.
Kids should be seen and not heard.

Cavegal- here you go.
watergate salad
1-20 oz can crushed pineapple (don't drain)
1 (3.4 oz) pkg pistachio pudding
1 c. mini marshmallows
1/2 c. chopped pecans
6 oz cool whip
3 oz sour cream
Mix first 4 ingredients in large bowl until well blended. Add cool whip and sour cream. Mix well, but don't over stir once you add cool whip/sour cream (should be fluffy). Refrigerate a few hours or overnight.
The original recipe doesn't call for sour cream, but my family makes it this way because the other is a bit too sweet.
Recipe can be doubled.
