- Turkey, of course - 14 lbs in a bag with some poultry seasoning and flour sprinkled on top and a can of Coke over that.
- Stuffing - made from bread, onions, celery, sage, poultry seasoning, and chicken broth (I'll post the recipe soon)
- Gravy - made from the turkey drippings and some flour
- Mashed potatoes
- Honey-glazed peas and carrots - cooked carrots and sugar snap peas in the crockpot with a little water, then made a glaze of butter, salt, and honey to pour over them
- Rolls
- Apple rolls - chopped apples spiced with nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, etc, rolled up in a piece of fillo. I'm going to have to play around with this some more.
And then for leftovers:
- Individual turkey pot pies using the chicken and biscuts recipe
- Broccoli and turkey cheddar risotto (also made ham and cheddar risotto and herbed mushroom risotto with sage, rosemary, basil, and monteray jack cheese, just because I was in the risotto mood)
- Turkey chili (recipe below)
- Apple sauce - cook chopped apples in a little water until soft, put into food processor, add in a little butter, and add sugar to taste. Yum! This will further be recycled into pumpkin applesauce cookies.
Turkey chili
1 can dark red kidney beans
1 can light red kidney beans
1 can pinto beans
1 can ro*tel
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato soup
1 can chopped chilis
1 onion, chopped
a bunch of turkey
4 bay leaves
generous amount of chili powder
Combine all ingredients in a crockpot and cook on low all day. Great with tomato chili cheese bread (made by throwing all those ingredients into basic bread machine bread).
