Thanksgiving Thread: Recipes, Plans, and Tips

Two suggestions:

If you want a low-carb egg nog, just buy DaVinci's Sugar Free Egg Nog Syrup. Add to heavy cream or half and half. Maybe add a little milk if you want the drink to be not so thick. Add a pinch or two of nutmeg and you're all set.

You can get the syrup on Amazon. Probably too late to get it by Thanksgiving, but keep it in mind for Christmas.

Second suggestion: Pumpkin sausage soup.

This is one of the best soups I've ever had. I've never hunted, but this is the kind of soup you want when you get home in the pitch darkness of 6:00 pm and want to eat and warm up.

I think of it as "Autumn in a Bowl."

You can search online for different recipes, but here's the one I follow, more or less. Note: I tend to just free-hand everything so I'm always making stuff a little different every time. So I can't be specific about how much you need of some ingredients.

But here's the approximate recipe:

1 pound mild Italian sausage meat. Easier if it's out of the casings, because you want it in crumbles.

1 box (16.9 fluid ounces, or one pound in weight) of bone broth, either chicken or beef, plus another box. You could substitute normal chicken broth here, but that's not as flavorful or as hearty. You're going to use at least one box of this, and probably like 1 1/2 boxes, but this depends on how thick you want the broth.

1 can (15 ounces) of pumpkin puree.

About cup or cup and a half of diced onions

About a cup of diced mushrooms

Maybe 1 or 1 1/2 tablespoons of fresh garlic

Salt, pepper


Directions:

Put butter or olive oil in cooking pot.. Heat it up. Add the sausage and cook. Before it's all the way cooked, add in chopped onion and chopped mushroom.

As all the ingredients are getting close to being fully cooked, add in the garlic. Add salt and pepper. Mix together.

Now add a full can of pumpkin puree and a full box of bone broth (16.9 ounces). Depending on how thick your soup looks -- and how think you want it -- you'll add in maybe another quarter box, or a half box, or maybe three quarters of the box. (At this point the broth starts getting too thin.)

Optionally, you can also add in savory spices like thyme and rosemary. But the sausage itself is already well-spiced -- you can skip adding additional spices (apart from salt and pepper), or add in a little more savory flavor.

Cook over a low heat for like an hour or ninety minutes, stirring occasionally.


I don't know if this is low carb. It's not high-carb, though. The main carb-contributing ingredient is pumpkin, and that's cut with at least a box of zero carb bone broth.

16 Thin-slice onions on a mandoline. Roll them in flour and fry them until crispy. Set to cool.

Cook fresh green beans whole in chicken stock or bone broth, maybe add some salt if the broth isn't salty enough. Drain them, top with shredded cheddar cheese (just a bit, not too much) and the onions.

So damned much better than any canned soup casserole.

Trust me. People say it's a BBQ sauce, and it is, but it's not intended for pork. It's for poultry. And it is fantastic on smoked, grilled, or roasted birds.

Arguably the most regional BBQ sauce I'm aware of.

But I'm especially looking forward to taking the turkey carcass and doing the annual "Bird to the Last Drop" Alton Brown recipe. But I do it with one modification. Alton uses 2 qts vegetable broth. I like to do 1 qt vegetable, 1 qt chicken broth instead.

Mmmm, mmmm good.

Bacon, and the bacon grease that cooked off of it.
Dried bread torn in smallish chunks. Don't care what kind.
Chicken or turkey stock, enough to keep it moist.
Fresh parsley, Sage, Thyme, Basil, Pepper, a little salt but not much because of the bacon and stock.
Celery, chopped.
Mushrooms, chopped, if you like them.
Giblets, simmered in water and then picked off the neck bones, and chopped.

The amounts of any or all of these doesn't much matter so long as it isn't soupy. Stuff it in the bird and put the rest on a covered pan in the oven.

Posted by: President Elect RedCheckmark at November 24, 2020 05:23 PM (8jX9u)

-

I'm not familiar with any other white BBQ sauces, but I'm betting if someone is serving/selling it at a restaurant, it's derived from this. The original was from a place called Big Bob Gibsons. As I understood it they'd smoke birds and glaze them with the sauce and serve it with the plate for pouring or dipping.

Now it's so ubiquitous on the border of Alabama and Tennessee that no one even uses a recipe.

If you try it, the thing to remember is to make it the night before. It improves overnight.

A friend knew someone who worked there. The secret for the glaze was to slather the sauce on and then put the bird in a cooler. Somehow that gave it the sheen.

Yeah, people eat it on pork but it doesn't compliment it. Turkey or chicken? Sublime. And as easy as just setting it out as a dipping sauce, although I tend to pour mine onto my stuffing and have it all with some canberry sauce, too.

141 >>Best pecan pie I every made had finely ground pecans in the goopy stuff (also with the whole or pieces on top). It made it a bit less sweet and deeper pecan flavor.


Definitely toasted pecans!
My go-to recipe has a small bit of semi-sweet chocolate chips that melt into the filling and it's just enough to make it interesting without recognizing the chocolate flavor.

1 bag cranberries
1 thin skinned orange

Cut up the orange in chunks. Put it and the cranberries in the food processor and pulse until desired consistency (not too fine). Stir in the sugar. Refrigerate overnight.

175 This is the first year in about a decade that I have cooked Thanksgiving, as my previous go-to has been terrified by the MSM into staying home and not letting anyone into their home. As it will just be me and one daughter, I am planning grilled turkey breast, Amish Potato rolls (currently in the bread machine), Serious Keto stuffing (new recipe for me), mashed potatoes, steamed corn, pumpkin pie, and blueberry pie (and lots of whipped cream).
Regarding the pumpkin soup, I have a recipe for butternut squash soup with sausage and crispy sage that I make in the Instant Pot that sounds similar. It is likely more work, but excellent.

Having been gluten fre for many years, I determine that often no crust is better (and easier) than a modified crust.

However, pumpkin pie crust made with crushed gluten-free ginger snaps is divine.

192 Apple Pie:

Crust is 2 c. flour, 2/3 c. shortening or lard, 1 t. salt (or less if you want it sweet), and 1/3 c. cold water.

For the insides: 6 nice apples, I use granny smith and fuji together, for sweet and sour. 3/4 c. brown sugar, 1 t. cinnamon, 1/2 t. nutmeg, 1/4 t. cloves, 3 or 4 T. tapioca or a couple of T flour, and a splash of lemon juice to keep the apples nice and balance the sugar.

Stack 'em high and put the top crust on. Bakes at 450 for 15 minutes and then 350 for 45 minutes, or until it bubbles over and makes a mess.

I've never tried that, but I did the almond flour/coconut oil crust from Elana's Pantry one year for my GF daughter. It turned out okay, but you have to roll it out between two pieces of waxed paper. And be sure to set the pie plate on a cookie sheet when you bake it because the coconut oil melts and drips off the edge.

You mean like in the Alton Brown recipe? You definitely need to open some windows and disconnect the smoke detectors but it has the effect of melting out a lot of the fat right under the skin so the skin can cook up nice and crispy. Just don't stick it in the oven and walk away or take a nap.

We made whole berry cranberry sauce. We used the same recipe every year, even though we knew the sugar proportion wasn't right. So, we'd be standing around the pan with our spoons, testing the sauce for sweet/tartness and eating about a third of it.

That happened to me too; fatty foods were a killer. Doc gave me a Rx for Cholestyramine and it helped tremendously. (It's a powder that you mix with liquid of choice.) After a while (year or two?)

That happened to me too; fatty foods were a killer. Doc gave me a Rx for Cholestyramine and it helped tremendously. (It's a powder that you mix with liquid of choice.) After a while (year or two?) I didn't need it anymore. It worked so well and I was so excited that on the second day of taking it, I treated myself to fettuccine alfredo and had no problem.

Definitely have her ask her doctor about it.

282 There will be only seven of us celebrating at my mother's house, the usual local folk, no distant relations this year. But five separate households! Eek!

This is Mom's 100th Thanksgiving. She's been spooked by the fake dempanic news, but insisting we have our small family dinner. Yay, Mom!

It's supposed to be easy on her - the rest of us doing all the work. We just might be able to get her to just manage the clipboard and direct, not go hands-on. Maybe.

Meanwhile, bird and dressing and pies and so on are being prepared. We re-stocked her liquor cabinet last week. So, the important things are about ready.

Naturally, we'll all be seated at separate tables, ten feet apart, behind plastic shields, outside, and wearing masks and goggles and gloves. Oh, wait, wait, we're in a free state. Inside, then, engaging in dangerous frivolity and naked camaraderie.

And thankfulness, for so very much.

Happy Thanksgiving, Ace, and Morons!

325 btw i just strated making quiches two months ago when I decided I'd try a mostly-egg diet, because they're a good mix of protein and fat and cholesterol and have all the minerals you need.

And they're dirt cheap!

I only got a week in, though. I gave up.

I think it's a good idea, though. Other people recommend it. The guiding notion is that eggs will be the primary ingredient in every meal you eat. You can have other stuff with the eggs, but the eggs are always the main thing.

Put kraut about an inch deep in any size pan.
Layer corned beef or pastrami as thick as you like on top.
Then swiss on top of that drizzled with Russian or 1000 Island.
Bake uncovered at 350 until it's bubbly and the cheese browns a little.
Cut in squares to fit your bread.

In a pewter mug or pyrex-heat-tempered mug, pour a pint of English brown or spice ale, then from your fireplace, take an iron fireplace poker or rod that has been heating up over the fire for some time, plunge it 1/2 way into your ale for 5-10 seconds and then remove.

They claim all the carbs in it are fiber.

It's really good bread, the best low carb bread I've had.

Which makes me very suspicious that it's really zero carb.

but I'll be making the stuffing and the post-Thanksgiving sandwiches with that.

If you cook pumpkin in the oven and eat it with butter, it tastes like acorn squash with only half the carbs. They make pretty good fries for about a third the carbs of sweet potatoes,or a quarter the carbs of potatoes.

432 From the old Trout Inn near Oxford (and older than Oxford itself, 1278 AD), a Mulled Ale is a wonderful holiday beverage. In a pewter mug or pyrex-heat-tempered mug, pour a pint of English brown or spice ale, then from your fireplace, take an iron fireplace poker or rod that has been heating up over the fire for some time, plunge it 1/2 way into your ale for 5-10 seconds and then remove. Grate nutmeg over the foam and drink.

Different calories are processed in different ways. Some stuff like lettuce actually takes more calories to consume than you get out of it. Protein, which helps build muscles, is both more filling and the muscles will increase your passive burn rate.

The only tiny bit of good news is that his mil is a nurse and his one sister in law is a nurse in the same hospital so even with the no COVID rules there is a family member who can see her every day and give updates.

Posted by: ace at November 24, 2020 06:05 PM (nuqdl)


Yeah, I wish he'd show my how he lost those last 80 lbs through sheer will power. Not.

Lose the grains--we were not built to process those. Lose the sugar--ditto.

Lean is NOT the answer--we need fat to survive. Without a good measure of fat, you will lose your hair and be constantly hungry. Protein helps, but fat is key.

Now, that's my considered opinion, and while I have so far lost only 56 lbs doing that, I think it is a good opinion where my metabolism is concerned. And that is the key: check your own metabolism and then get back to me about blanket rules for everyone's diet. Skippy.

How is it a fad diet to look at total calories and nutrition you can get from the foods available?

For example, at Thanksgiving I can eat a certain amount of calories from any foods I want. That's based on how my body gains or sheds weight, my exercise level, etc. I just put limits around type of foods and nutritional measures.

It's not like I am saying eat nothing but X.

Speaking of Eggs, true story:

I buy Eggs in bulk from the hellhole known as Costco, so I always have several dozen in the house. A couple of weeks I got a brilliant idea to eat Steak & Eggs for breakfast every morning.

It's just not practical, for so many reasons. Who wants to "fry" a steak? It's difficult to find a good quality, very thin steak for fast frying. And that's what you want -- a fast-cooked meal for breakfast. Plus, I lost the ability to properly fry an egg. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Lesson: steak and eggs is impossible for me to negotiate.

Hi Floridachick, all my siblings range from liberal to leftist, but we don't let politics break the family bond. Frankly, we basically never discuss it. A lot of people are on the left because they are lied to by the media, educational institutions, entertainment etc., and not necessarily because they are bad people, so I try to have some grace towards them.

I understand it is more painful for you because you are originally from a former communist country.

So I would try not to let politics come between you and your son and wife. However, if it goes beyond that and she is obnoxious about it, then I think you are within your rights to refuse to visit unless she behaves.

Just my 2 cents.

555 This new round of lockdowns has greatly curtailed my Thanksgiving options.

My friends all take the threat of COVID more seriously than they should, IMO, so I'm probably not getting an invitation to eat with any of them.

And all the restaurants are closed, too, so that nice Thanksgiving special they always have at The Black-Eyed Pea isn't an option, either. They do have a take-out version, but it's family-sized and I don't feel like spending $100 for takeout that I might not be able to eat before it turns into some combination of stone and leather in my refrigerator.

I do have a nice organic pasture-raised spiral-cut ham, though, and some apricot-pepper jelly to use for a glaze. I took the ham out of my freezer for thawing the other night. I had intended to make that for some sort of get-together, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. So, I guess that'll be my Thanksgiving dinner.

I'm not quite sure what to have on the side yet, but the funny thought that's popped into my head is some sort of breakfast-type setup. Eggs and hash browns, maybe some tortillas and green chile (if I can find a good store-bought brand; I don't know how to make it)...

557 I am so sorry for posting this here. But I see so
much negativity and heartbreak around. Nothing seems to break for the
President. I fully understand the ramifications of what a Biden so
called presidency will do. Both husband and I are naturalized citizens
originally from communist countries.



My son's wife is a full blown leftist. My son is a conservative. He
and wife are actually attending counseling due to marital strain
secondary to their diverging political views. I never thought I would
consider this, but I am thinking of speaking privately with him about
just not seeing them. That shall he need us we are there for him. But no
visiting. I want to be there for him but not her. I dont want to cause
them futher problems. But I am so tired of acting like nothing is wrong.
I just cannot bear the treason and the horror that people like her are
imposing on our country. The massive fraud. The total destruction of
America. I am so done with her kind.



Any thoughts or advice are welcome.

We will be ok, Floridachick and Trump did win and will be sworn in for his second term. I know the in-between times is seriously depressing and nerve-wracking but Trump has won every time they tried to destroy him and WE will not allow the traitors in this country to steal our votes or our Republic.

As far as your son goes, I would ask him what he needs you to do in this situation but let him know you will not be biting your tongue around his wife if she starts running her mouth. Let him choose what he needs. He may need your support around her to be able to draw boundaries or he may want to come see you without her. Whatever you do, I would not be biting my tongue in that situation.

561 It's just not practical, for so many reasons. Who wants to "fry" a steak? It's difficult to find a good quality, very thin steak for fast frying. And that's what you want -- a fast-cooked meal for breakfast. Plus, I lost the ability to properly fry an egg. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Lesson: steak and eggs is impossible for me to negotiate.

567 Dan Bongino today called for a special prosecutor to investigate China Gate and Biden. After all Mueller spent 3 years on the Pee-Pee tape, even though he knew it was all fabricated lies. Hunter's computer is real, not some Hillary fantasy BS, so turnabout is more than fair play. Let us see how the Democrats like #resistance. Write your Senators and demand equal justice. If Biden fires the special prosecutor - we have an obstruction of justice case.

596 How is it a fad diet to look at total calories and nutrition you can get from the foods available?

For example, at Thanksgiving I can eat a certain amount of calories from any foods I want. That's based on how my body gains or sheds weight, my exercise level, etc. I just put limits around type of foods and nutritional measures.

It's not like I am saying eat nothing but X.
Posted by: Marcus T at November 24, 2020 06:20 PM (lPeix)


Because you are using classes of food to reach certain parameters. That you disagree with how others to do it, does not make their system less faddish than yours.

Same here on the eggs. If you have time to stand over them, then higher heat can work. But about 20-30% heat, lots of fat (butter, lard), and a good non-stick is my go to for perfect fried eggs every time.

So, what is called potato stuffing among my people:

A fine mess of mashed potatoes - (I boil mine with the skins on btw and only remove the accumulated skins on the bottom of my masher.) Add loads of butter, whole milk or half and half to get the consistency you like.

To that add a pound or so of cooked uncased sausage, bacon or ham; two cups bread crumbs - NO, that shit you buy in a bag, two day old good bread and cube it. Salt and pepper the bejeebers out of it and placed into a heavily greased 13 x 9 baking pan. Top with a shitton of butter pats.

Bake for about 30 minutes at 325.

Serve with your gravy and more butter.

Lay down and go comatose.

Corned beef has a good flavor to it. It's a salted brisket IIRC, with the "corn" coming from the shape of the salt chunks.

Even my picky little youngest likes it and will eat an entire pound in a day or two if we don't keep our eye on it.

661 It's just not practical, for so many reasons. Who wants to "fry" a steak? It's difficult to find a good quality, very thin steak for fast frying. And that's what you want -- a fast-cooked meal for breakfast. Plus, I lost the ability to properly fry an egg. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Lesson: steak and eggs is impossible for me to negotiate.
Posted by: Soothsayer's Untrue But Accurate Tales at November 24, 2020 06:20 PM (S+UIZ)


If you're having trouble frying an egg, I'd look at the garbage eggs from Costco as the first culprit. They're barely held together as it is. A proper ranch egg is incredibly elastic, and usually a deep orange yolk. When you drop into a pan, they stand up! The whites don't spread out. Some Costco crap sits for ages, and isn't necessarily well cared for before they make it to the refrigeration units.

I prefer a stainless pan I've got that works better than any nonstick. Advantage is I can use a super thin spatula to get underneath it, instead of a 1/8" thick silicon one. Once they're broken in, you can slide the eggs around like a brand new teflon pan. Only way to fry.

Steaks I can't help you with. I'd say get a good hunk of sirloin tip, a sharp knife, and cut as thin as you want.

686 I think I've gotten pretty good at pan-frying steaks since COVID hit.

I take them out of the package, pat them dry with a paper towel, and coat them with a seasoning mix (I like Goya Adobo Seasoning with Cumin for just a good, cheap, everyday seasoning mix), then let them sit on a plate in my refrigerator for a few hours.

Then I put a skillet on my stove and turn it on to about a 6. Once it's hot enough for a few drops of water to sizzle immediately, I put in a little oil and then add my seasoned steak. I cook it for about a minute, flip it, give it another minute and flip it again, etc. It typically takes about five minutes total (three minutes on one side and two on the other) to get to my desired degree of doneness (about a medium; I like my steak firm all the way through, but still juicy).

If it's a thicker cut of meat, sometimes I get out the tongs and give each edge a minute, as well.
