Turkey and Apple Salad over Watercress

Mon, 03 Sep 2007 21:30:15 -0400

For your next protein fix! A good Vitamin C boost, too! The dried fruit and almonds are my addition. I used a variety of locally grown apples in this salad.

Turkey Calzones in a Pan * Thanksgiving Leftovers

Answering the question of "What to do with all this leftover turkey?"...here's the answer!! And WHAT an answer! Be prepared for all the oohs and ahhs that will involuntarily emit from your dining companions. Truly something for which to be thankful! Prep time does NOT include bread-dough rising time. In a pinch you could use a loaf of Rhoades frozen bread dough--thawed. -- posted by Debber

Pumpkin Sloppy Joes

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 00:21:08 -0400

From perfect entertaining: This savory dish, a variation of Sloppy Joes with a Halloween twist is very flavorful and unique. Sloppy Joes don't have to go far to look slightly disgusting and messy, and this version is sure to please all those sloppy eaters. This is also a very low fat dish that is perfect to serve to mixed company. Kids will love the sloppiness and adults will appreciate the slightly more "grown up" flavor. This is great on rolls or thick slices of French bread, my preference. -- posted by ellie3763

Autumn Turkey Chops

Sat, 27 Oct 2007 17:24:49 -0400

Today was a cold, rainy late October day. I bought a few mini pumpkins and gourds and things to decorate my house with and was feeling 'autumn inspired'. Longing for the flavors of fall, I wanted something with cinnamon, nutmeg and maybe even cloves. I had some turkey 'chops' and decided to throw these things together. I have nothing for leftovers now! The whole family loved it! (Even the super picky 3 and 5 year old!) -- posted by .:.Mamma Meshele.:.

Turkey Chowder

Chez Panisse Turkey Brine

Fri, 23 Nov 2007 21:41:32 -0500

Makes enough brine for a 12- to 16-pound turkey A basic brine is water and salt, and often sugar. But the extra ingredients in this recipe from the famed Chez Panisse restaurant in Berkeley will add flavor to the stuffing and gravy if it's made with the drippings. However, there won't be a distinct flavor difference in the turkey meat itself. The sugar, however, will promote browning, so if the bird is getting too dark during roasting, you can tent it with some foil. -- posted by HotChaiLatte

Advance Planning Turkey Gravy

Sat, 24 Nov 2007 17:03:56 -0500

Thanksgiving's not really about the turkey, it's about the gravy, right? It has to be good and there has to be a lot of it. We figure about 1/2 cup per person, so there's enough to lace the vegetables and stuffing as well as the turkey and mashed potatoes. Making it ahead not only means you don't have to fuss too much on T-day itself, but also that you can make a large quantity. WinCo is a good bet for finding the turkey parts you'll need to make this gravy.-- Adapted from Woman's Day magazine -- posted by HotChaiLatte

Half-Time Chili II

This rich thick chili is suprisingly healthy using ground turkey (and no one needs to know)!!!! The basis of this recipe came from Bon Apetit 1996/Epicurious. I have made my own changes and used this recipe for 5yrs...potlucks, game nights, blizzards... Ofcourse you can use ground beef/venison, different types of beans, but do not be afraid of the amount of garlic, it mellows out during the cooking. -- posted by Skrim

Susan's Best Turkey

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 17:30:07 -0400

This is my roast turkey for Thanksgiving or other festive occasion prepared using ingredients available to our founding fathers, or maybe we should say mothers. I decided, after living in Europe for many years, and consuming much garlic, paprika and delicious olive oil, that I needed to "Get my Thanksgiving On". I consulted my mother and cousins state-side, and my favorite cook book - the 1933 edition of Fanny Farmer, and from those beginnings I came up with my own preparations, based on what I believe would have been the ingredients available to a cook at around the time the first thanksgiving was celebrated. I usually roast a turkey weighing 16-18 pounds cuz I can't fit a larger bird in my oven. This is a great size for serving up to 24 reasonably hungry adults with a sprinkling of children. I have always been able to get a fresh bird, and once even "fattened" my own for about 2 months on veggie scraps from soup makings, fruit parings and shucked corn. That was a memorable bird. I do recommend cooking your stuffing in the bird. It is just so much better. I don't have a favorite stuffing recipe per se but like my stuffing to be mostly pork and walnuts, chestnuts, sage and thyme. -- posted by Chef #951234

Mom's Perfect Roast Turkey

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 16:24:29 -0500

This is the anti-saw-dust tasting, forget the pop-up thermometer bird cooker! Hence, we toss the thermometer altogether. Cooking the bird "upside-down" uses gravity and allows the juices to cook inside the breast meat, giving it a tender deliciousness that is hard to duplicate when cooking for a golden-brown-colored turkey breast skin. With my family, we prefer meat to skin and so after letting the turkey rest, carve in kitchen and set on buffet-style platter or large plate, removing fat and skin as preferred. This recipe is also great if you want a less-stress Thanksgiving as all it is is washing the bird, sticking it in a pan, and into the oven with a timer. Feel free to make other preparations while the bird is cooking for when the bird is out of the oven. Bird can be made up to a day in advance and reheated easily. If you like moist turkey breast meat, use this recipe. Meant for any size or type of turkey. No bags or basting, ever! Also great for students away from home for the holidays. This is not the turkey recipe if you want a Norman Rockwell picture. This is for cooking a great bird. -- posted by Rubyscarab

45 Minute Roast Turkey (Mark Bittman)

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 00:00:23 -0500

Another great recipe from Mark Bittman. Its almost a given that time and oven space are at a premium on Thanksgiving Day, and this method of roasting turkey, unorthodox as it is, addresses both. Split, flattened, and roasted at 450°F (lowering the heat if the bird browns too fast), a 10-pound bird will be done in about 40 minutes. Really. It will also be more evenly browned (all of the skin is exposed to the heat), more evenly cooked (the legs are more exposed; the wings shield the breasts), and moister than birds cooked conventionally. But it works only for relatively small turkeys. -- posted by blucoat

Healthy Flavorful Turkey Chili

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 18:47:40 -0500

This healthy turkey chili will blow you away! It's great to bring to pot-lucks and also great to satisfy your family! I've been making it for years and when fall and winter come around I get constant requests. When feeding a large party I will sometimes add macaroni or shell pasta and some cheese. I keep some in my fridge to have for lunch, dinner and a late night snack. It's a bit addictive! Adding cinnamon really rounds out the flavor and makes is a bit different from other recipes. If you are weak with spices, you may adjust accordingly. -- posted by BeachBum14

Thanksgiving Leftovers: Harvest Turkey Bread Salad

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 02:23:34 -0400

This is a great panzanella bread salad using up those leftover pieces of turkey meat, rolls, and cranberries. Alternately, you could use Texas Toast croutons (from the store) or toast up some of the leftover rolls instead of using Italian bread. Thanks to the Taste Of Home folks for a great way to make the day after Thanksgiving as tasty as the Big Dinner. -- posted by Debber

Leftover Turkey & Fixin' Phyllo Packets

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:53:12 -0400

One year when I was a kid, my great-aunt Helen visited us for Thanksgiving. I have this memory of her and my mom in the kitchen having fun creating a clever way to "re-package" thanksgiving leftovers. I couldn't have been older than 6 or 8 years old but my mom never tried it again. As an adult the memory stuck with me and here is how it came out...its so easy! And you can substitute the ingredients with whatever left-overs suit your taste. -- posted by Melanie B.

Make-Ahead Roasted Turkey Gravy - Tyler Florence

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:37:18 -0500

This is a GREAT make ahead gravy, even a day ahead! There is an error in the directions tho. I watched the show and after he was done roasting the wing and vegetables, he added the flour and stock and then added the turkey wing back in before simmering for about 15 minutes more. This gravy warms up beautifully, and is an extreme crowd pleaser and EASY. From Tyler Florence at Food Network. Hope you enjoy! -- posted by Scoutie

Minestrone With Turkey

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:17:30 -0500

From TOH Dec/Jan 2008 issue. I plan to try this with leftover turkey after Thanksgiving. I will probably add more turkey to this. The recipe says you can also add a can of rinsed and drained garbanzo or kidney beans. -- posted by Ginny Sue

Best Apple Cider Brined Turkey

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:58:28 -0500

This will be the BEST roasted turkey youve had, hands down! I prefer this over deep fried turkey as it is about as moist and has much more flavor to it. I compliment this turkey by serving giblet gravy, sautéed herbed mushrooms and Apple Wine Stuffing. Before cooking the bird, I typically use a rub with olive oil or melted butter/margarine. I quarter an apple and stuff inside the cavity for cooking, tenting the bird until the last hour. -- posted by CooksInHeels

Healthy Un-Stuffed Pepper Soup

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 18:06:22 -0500

This is one of my all time favorite soups! It's thick and hearty similar to a chili, but has the same flavor as traditional stuffed peppers! Using extra-lean ground beef, 98% fat free beef broth, and brown rice make this recipe surprisingly healthy. It's very easy to make and also freezes well. Serve up with some crusty bread and you have a one pot dinner. -- posted by PSU<3

Apple and Sausage Stuffed Butternut Squash

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 08:22:56 -0500

I discovered a recipe in Joy of Cooking and tweaked it a bit. I'm not sure it's worth the trouble of stuffing the squash. Personally, I'd just peel and dice the squash while it's raw, then roast the squash while sauteeing the rest of the filling, then toss the whole mess in a baking dish and be done with it. But, if you're into fancy presentation, go for it. :) No matter what, it tastes great, and it's nutritious. -- posted by kitchengrrl
