Thanksgiving coming up next week............Me and Hon were trying to figure what to make.....The turkey and ALL the fixings seem behind us now, with our parents gone and Son now a Vegan...I can say I'll surely miss the smell of that well seasoned turkey in the oven and everything else cooking on the stove...........The holidays seem to diminish in enjoyment as you get older, said to say.........You did all that stuff for the kids back then ( really for Everybody!)..........Hon has a giant plant (Tree)n the front window now From Son................no room for the Christmas Tree anymore......................I'll have lights in the window and things around the house, but it's not the same as years gone by..........Santa might not even stop by this year..........

Thanksgiving coming up next week............Me and Hon were trying to figure what to make.....

You can get the turkey breast instead of the whole bird. If you really want to cut down on leftovers, get turkey from the deli and ask them to slice it thick. You don't end up with a carcass to make stock, though. You can heat the deli turkey in a frying pan, then use some chicken stock to deglaze the fond and make a gravy -- salt & pepper and a dash of Bell's seasoning to taste, add some butter, and use Wondra flour to thicken.

My other shortcut is StoveTop stuffing with add-ins. I'll brown up some Jones or Jimmy Dean sausage and diced celery, then add chicken stock instead of water (a bit of white wine if you have it), throw in some diced apple, raisins, and chopped walnuts, and simmer that about 5 minutes before adding the stuffing mix.

Trader Joe's has frozen fancy green beans (haricots verts) that are pretty good just steamed or nuked. A can of Bruce's yams and a can of Ocean Spray jellied cranberry sauce*, and you're set.

*If it doesn't have ridges, it's not cranberry sauce.

Dave_W, We're almost on the same page...........I want something Thanksgiving-ee but also easy and quick to make....I've come up with shake n bake chicken breast, Bob Evans Mashed potatoes, Stove Top stuffing with celery & chicken broth & I think I have a big can of Collard Greens somewhere....Heinz Turkey gravy will do............with a pumpkin pie.......... Thanksgiving is saved this year..........Hon may add in some fresh baked yams with pancake syrup .....................I just hope the football games are worth watching...........we even have Black Friday football game this year!!!!!!!!!!!!..........I always made turnips in the past, but I'm the only one who likes them......................................I've never been a cranberry sauce fan......sweets are for dessert in my book....Hence Hon making those yams for her.....................
