Nobody seems to have begun a Thanksgiving food/cooking thread, so I thought I would.
I've never eaten okra, but have always wanted to try. This time of year, I can probably only get frozen here; does anyone have a recipe they like for frozen okra?

Okra is part of the food pyramid in Texas. Southern breaded and fried okra or as a thickener in gumbo. I love okra.
I suggest a curry preparation or a tika masala style.
Check the webz for recipes.
You’ve never eaten okra? You’re not from the south are you? That’s OK, but know there are only 2 ways to cook okra.
1. In a gumbo
2. Fried.
The other day, my wife used the air fryer to fry okra. It turned out really, really good. There are recipes online; find one and try it out.
Turkey sandwiches for the next month. 😎
I have a simple wild rice neck stuffing recipe is anyone want’s it.
Kinda prep-fussy but includes hot sausage and mushrooms.
And, of course, butter.
Cook with onions and peppers in a skillet until it gets slimy. Put it in a pyrex dish and sprinkle in parmesan cheese. Bake it until it isn’t slimy. Some people add Italian bread crumbs or corn meal/flour
Yes, I saw some that were sort of ‘curried’. I also saw this, from ‘The Seasoned Mom’:

Hi there!! So nice to see you. This should be a nice thread.
It’s an open tab now!
I’m from a Virginia family, but was just never been presented with okra. (I’ve seen fried recipes for fresh okra that looked good.)
Thanks.
I’ve never had it! Do you eat it whole or clean out any seeds?
Okra is apparently very nutritious, while also being rather low in calories and carbs.
He didn’t thaw it?
We host Thanksgiving here, my wife’s family likes salmon and pea salad so they mix it up and eat it. Even the smell is horrible and the taste is just about unGodly.
Yes, post it. It sounds good.
Does it use canned salmon?
