Skipping meat this time. My favorite holiday approaches and I can't wait! However, teenagers still need to be fed, so here's what's cooking for this short week.
Meatless Monday, Buy a Turkey and Start Chopping!
Yakisoba with veggies. A teeny bit of pork makes this very much richer, but it's still good sans animal. Would not recommend adding tofu in this case.
Turkey Saga, Day 1
If you haven't already done so, best to pick up a turkey today. We have been getting fresh Diestel turkeys for years now. It was recommended that we get a hen (girl) rather than a tom (boy). There is no difference in price, and I've not a clue why, but we went with what the Turkey Whisperer told us.
While I love the citrus brine, The husband is trying out a new brine with allspice, cloves, onion, garlic, brown beer ale. I guess the relatives now know they are human guinea pigs once again.
I am also trying out a new old stuffing, based on a Sam Choy recipe. Macadamia nuts, apples, raisins and either bacon or pork sausage. Plus our more traditional cornbread stuffing. Again, the relatives will surely weigh in here too.
Tuesday
Korean chicken soup. It's getting cold for California, so we need soup and a little kim chee to keep us warm.
Wednesday
Gyros. We've been on a Mediterranean kick lately.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
