I hope everyone enjoys a very happy and peaceful Thanksgiving Holiday!

That sounds great.

Turkey pot pie is a must every year. Besides leftovers I add some onion and mushroom and I don’t use broth, I use leftover turkey gravy. I used to do a scratch crust, now I buy a box of puff pastry. Picking up our fresh farm raised bird tomorrow and starting the dry brine. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Place two turkey thighs in a 5 quart crock pot. Add one container of chicken or turkey broth with some garlic powder and crushed rosemary. Crock on low for at least 8 hours on low. Near the end of that time, turn crockpot on high and add three cups of uncooked rice. Wait maybe 30 minutes, remove the two bones and chow!

My Cranberry relish has always been cranberry’s, sugar, orange juice and orange zest.

A little dab will do ya.

I recently saw a recipe for nduja stuffed mushrooms that I want to try.

50 Turkeys coming to our VFW post tomorrow, all donated.
We will use 2 or 3 and send the rest to those in need.

It is a major juggling act LOL

Maybe I will make some cranberry relish and some sage stuffing. Maybe not!

A wacky recipe (the only kind I know?) for SWEET APPLE CIDER:

Buy a gallon of quality apple juice
pour out a glass
add 1/4 cup sugar
shake like crazy, shake it good
add 1/4 tsp of wine yeast - Lalvin EC 1118 is best and your local wine-making supplies store will have it
put the top on loose
set it on the floor on a tray out of the way
after the bottle starts foaming (2-3 days) put it in the fridge
leave the top loose!

Makes a nice after Thanksgiving dinner drink. VERY little alcohol (1/10 of a percent?)

Yes, there’s a wine-making supply shop near you. It’s a fun and easy hobby.
I recommend https://www.homebrewtalk.com/edworts-apflewine.html for an easy start in winemaking.

But this recipe is just for fizz, not alcohol LOL!

I love Thanksgiving! Mr. Trisham went shopping this morning and brought home a turkey, Bell’s stuffing, fresh cranberries, an orange, squash, green beans, eggs, celery and I’m not sure what else. :)
