Yeah, I know it's a little late in the game for this, but if anyone wants to post their favorite recipes (or preparation methods) for Thanksgiving, here's where to do it!

Sooo good.

1/2 c dried cranberries (recipe says "or raisins"...I say "ewww")
1/4 c orange liqueur or orange juice (I've only used OJ)
1/4 c margarine or butter
1 1/4 c chopped celery
1 1/4 c chopped onion
1 tsp poultry seasoning
(1) 8 oz pkg (2 cups) herb seasoned stuffing mix
2 c chopped, peeled apple (approx 2 apples)
1/2 lb. bulk pork sausage, cooked & well drained
1 c cooked wild rice
1/2 c chopped hazelnuts (or slivered almonds--I've always used hazelnuts)
1/2 c snipped parsley
3/4 to 1 c chicken broth

Bring cranberries and orange juice to boiling in a small saucepan. Remove from heat; set aside. Melt margarine in a large skillet. Cook celery and onion in hot margarine over medium heat until vegetables are tender. Stir in poultry seasoning; set aside.

Combine stuffing mix, apple, cooked sausage, cooked wild rice, hazelnuts, and parsley in a large bowl. Stir in the cranberry and celery mixtures. Drizzle with enough chicken broth to moisten, tossing lightly. Season with salt & pepper. Bake, covered, in an ungreased 3 qt casserole in a 325 degree oven for 40 to 60 minutes or until heated through. Or, use to stuff one 8 to 10 lb turkey. Serves 8 - 10.

I have NEVER done the Thanksgiving cooking.

Linderbee

that's because you're a man, and that is generally the woman's job.


Which means this thread is going to be weak. week. Something.


stupid disproportionate amount of women to men around here...

Hate to sound sexist, but that is typically how it goes in my family.

My Thanksgiving usually goes like this...

Wake up, eat pumpkin pie, watch football, eat, play football, eat, sleep, eat.

Linderbee

As it should be.

The stuffing recipe sounds good. Here's one for a good cocktail.

Red Roosters - Courtesy of Emeril

1 1/2 quart cranberry juice
1 can of orange juice concentrate
2 cups of Vodka
Blood orange slices for garnish

Mix all ingredients (do not add water to the OJ concentrate - just thaw enough to dump in) well, put into freezer for at least 4 hours.
When ready, scoop mixture into small cocktail glasses and garnish with a slice of blood orange.

Pretty darned tastey - but dangerous!

Linderbee

sounds fabulous!
