I use a similar approach to making the gravy...use a couple teaspoons of COLD water with the flour to make a paste, then add back some of the turkey fat from the drippings to make a roux. Then SLOWLY add that to the pan with the rest of the drippings. Makes totally lump-free smooth gravy. Sometimes thicken with a bit of cornstarch, but usually the flour is enough.

Right out of my wife’s Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook which was handed down from her Mom...printed in the 50s. Still a useful tool for cooking.

My son didn’t turn vegetarian, but he’s not a huge turkey fan (loves steak, especially “Fred Steak”). My middle daughter loves fish even though she’s vegetarian in every other way. She’s softened quite a bit.

My wife has her mother’s, same vintage. I believe it is officially the “Better Homes and Gardens NEW Cookbook,” which is funny in itself. And its made even funnier because we have two or three later editions of the same, each of which proudly bears the title of being the “new” cookbook.

Pineapple Cheese Streudel?!

Sounds delicious!

Would you like to share the recipe?

I don't have a recipe in my possession but when Entenmann's still made them they looked like this: streudel

I thought I might just spoon in some pineapple preserves atop the cheese filling before laying on the top pastry. Even if it's not an exact copy I'm sure it'd still be edible!

I can follow a recipe, but my track record for creative cooking is nothing short of catastrophic.

But this one could be worth a try!

Go for it! Let us know how it turns out. FYI, I’ve tried putting the pineapple preserves on regular cheesecake and found it’s much sweeter than the pineapple filling in the Entenmann’s streudel was. Maybe just mashed up pineapple from a can would work as well. Or, reduce the sugar mixed in with the cheese.
