    Okay, folks, spill the beans. What are you making for thanksgiving?

    Us, we're smoking a turkey, doing the usual sides (mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy), and I'll be making a Bourbon Sweet Potato and Apple Casserole with a Pecan Crust. Made it last year and it was flippin' awesome.
    Here's my tongue: :P

    Please throw some food at it.

    My new recipe for pollo pozole rojo is in the crock-pot. If it tastes 1/2 as good as it smells, I will be very, very happy.
    Holy cow, dude, that looks delicious! Post the recipe!!

    Everyone's making something. My contributions are a squash, pepper and corn gratin in a cheddar cheese sauce and a Bacon Maple Apple Pie.

    The Pie recipe was given to me by a friend and I cant wait to try it out. If it works at all, I'll post the recipe after the holiday.

    Oh, and thanks for that link, Jacques. I'll be trying that one out for Christmas now, probably

    My significant other is making Doce de abóbora, which is a Brasilian dessert (candied pumpkin).

    The whole house smells like cinammon and cloves. Which is kinda neat.

    you're most welcome - it's a great twist on the old sweet potato marshmallow pie routine.

    (and I may need to steal those recipes from you at some point)

    i made two sweet potato pecan pies. going to the family get together here in two hours. should be upwards of 60 people and mountains of food. i'm looking forward to overeating.

    i bookmarked that bourbon sweet potato casserole for future reference. i love pretty much anything with sweet potato or pumpkin. adding pecans and apples only makes things better.

    Seven pies was too many. Far too many. So many leftovers.

    I made two as well, and I was really excited, but I'm the only person who had a slice. Everyone said they were too full or they didn't like nuts. It hurt my feelings.

    We had posole (which turned out great), enchiladas with roasted vegetables, Mexican rice, mashed yams with orange juice, and a vegetarian stuffing.

    I made my traditional post-Thanksgiving Turkey Sausage Gumbo with all the leftovers. So delicious.

    I'm also considering adapting my lime chicken salad recipe to turkey. I'm not sure if it will work.

    Recipe, please.
    It's a little intense-- you'll want to carve out a few hours including prep. And if you've never made a roux, you'll want to watch a video on how to do it... it looks funny the first time you do it. There are a number of videos on YouTube, including here.


    Turkey Sausage Gumbo

    Roux:
    1 cup Vegetable Oil
    1 ½ cup Flour

    Cook 30-45 minutes in frying pan at medium-high heat (flour floats and sizzles, no smoke.) Stir constantly. Should be a solid, medium brown and smooth by the end, not too grainy. Don't burn it! The darker the color, the more intense your final taste will be, so you may want to not go too dark if you're wimpy.

    Add to 6 cups Chicken Broth:
    2-3 Celery Stalks, chopped
    1 Onion, chopped
    1 Green Pepper, chopped

    Add the roux. Add:
    1 T Salt
    1 tsp Red Pepper
    1 T Black Pepper
    1 lb. smoked Polish Sausage

    Simmer 1 hour. Add Turkey meat (chopped, 2 cups, tightly packed) and cook 15-20 minutes more. Remove from heat and add 1 cup chopped Green Onions and ½ cup chopped Parsely.

    Serve over rice.

    Made cold turkey salad with celery, almonds, mayonaise and olive oil, and a couple of squeezed limes and a little bit of lime zest.

    Very good.

    I'm making another batch of gumbo tonight. It's happening. There's too much turkey left over and it's getting dry.

    I might document with pictures, just for fun.

    Had Sloppy Joes this weekend, they tasted ... different. Afterward learned that it wasn't beef, it was moose, elk, and "maybe a little bobcat."

    So, now I've eaten moose, elk and maybe a little bobcat.

    My family had trouble affording meat when I was a tyke, but friends who were hunters would often give us large chunks of venison. We were sensitive children and would refuse to eat venison, so Mom would disguise it as the strangest things-- tacos, sloppy joes, casseroles, etc.

    After awhile we older children figured it out and would taunt the younger children during dinner. Mom would get so mad.

    Seriously, though, I didn't think any felines were edible.

    Neither did I. My eyebrows raised when the cook said, "and maybe a little bit'a bobcat, I tried to make sure there wasn't any in there."

    I was out in the sticks helping shoot a low-budget horror flick. The people feeding us worked at the bar/grill up the street.

    They were pleasantly surprised when me and a couple crew members laughed and joked that we can finally mark moose and elk off of our "Animals To Eat Before I Die" list. :lol:
