Thanksgiving is a time of food. It's a festivity of the Pilgrim's early successes in America, victory through hard work to reclaim the land in what was for them a new world. The menu is usually the same. Pumpkin pie ends a turkey dinner that includes all the extras. Families gather not only to celebrate the historic event, but just to catch up with everyone's lives. Thanksgiving dinner recipes can be quite different, as there are many ways to cook a turkey.
How about this recipe for a pleasant-tasting appetizer? Move the pumpkin from dessert to the start of the meal as a mouth-watering Pumpkin soup. Take a tablespoonfull of oil and butter each of them and then heat it to a medium heated pan. Add three sliced leeks (only the white) and saute until the leeks are soft. Pumpkin puree, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and salt join the party. Stir that until well mixed, then pour in 32 ounces of vegetable broth. Add brown sugar. Simmer for 1 minutes over low heat. Cream or half and half are optional, along with a pinch of cinnamon on top of each bowl. That sounds good.
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.
Pumpkin and sausage soup makes for a good appetizer too. The list of delicious appetizers is endless. Give cheese wrapped asparagus a try. Both sliced and spread cheese go into this one. One idea is swiss cheese slices with a softer blue cheese spread. The slices are spread with the other cheese, wrapped around a few spears, and cooked at 23C until the asparagus is soft.
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
