Learn about Thanksgiving Dinner Recipes

By: Peter Hallway

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.
Doesn't this appetizer sound delicious? It's a pretty simple Pumpkin soup. Butter and oil simmer over a medium heat. Saute the white part of the leeks in this until they're soft. Next, add together one tablespoofull of ground cinnamon, teaspoon of ground ginger, a little bit of cloves, approximately 15 ounces of pumkin puree, and last but not least a pinch of salt. Stir it well and after it's all mixed, add 32 ounces of vegetable broth. Stir in one quarter cup of brown sugar. Simmer for 1 minutes over low heat. Once in the bowl some cream or half and half and another pinch of cinnamon can be added. That soup is a real treat.
For the main course try frying the turkey instead of broiling it. It won't get greasy. The oil is so hot it doesn't flow into the meat. Buy a turkey fryer. Check the meat with a meat thermometer and the oil temperature with an oil thermometer. Hot oil may spatter so do this in an open outdoor space. Heat the oil to between 325 degrees and 35 degrees F. Cook it for 3 minutes per pound, until the breast is 17F. It's common to inject spices into the turkey during frying, but the dressing is usually not fried along with the turkey.
Try hazelnut pumpkin soup or a butternut squash stuffing. Other appetizer possibilities also available. Try something different like cheese wrapped asparagus. This calls for both a sliced cheese and a soft cheese spread. A blue cheese spread over slices of swiss can be good. Wrap the asparagus with the slices spread with the soft cheese, then bake until tender at 23C.
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
