Hard work in a new world led to success and to this celebration. Every year it’s a traditional meal. Turkey, sometimes ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, rolls or bread, pumpkin pie and apple pie, and a variety of other trimmings adorn the holiday table. It’s a time when families get together to celebrate history. But just like the colors of the leaves, Thanksgiving dinner recipes can be an amazing variety.

Doesn’t this appetizer sound delicious? Move the pumpkin from dessert to the start of the meal as a savory Pumpkin soup. Butter and oil simmer over a medium heat. Add three sliced leeks (only the white) and saute until the leeks are soft. Now throw in some pumpkin puree along with cloves, cinnamon, ground ginger and some salt. Stir that until well mixed, then pour in 32 ounces of vegetable broth. Add brown sugar. Bring it to a low boil then let it simmer for 10 minutes. If desired pour a tsp or so of cream or half and half into the bowl before adding soup and a dash of cinnamon. That sounds good.

For the main course try frying the turkey instead of broiling it. It won’t get greasy. The oil is so hot it doesn’t flow into the meat. Get a big drum and a propane burner, otherwise known as a deep fryer. A meat thermometer is also needed, along with a deep fry thermometer to check the oil for the correct temperature. Make sure to fry outside in a clear area. The oil must be between 325F and 350F. Cook it for 3 minutes per pound, until the breast is 170F. Dressing isn’t fried inside the turkey, but spices can be injected into it.

Try hazelnut pumpkin soup or a butternut squash stuffing. Other appetizer possibilities also exist. Give cheese wrapped asparagus a try. Both sliced and spread cheese go into this one. One idea is swiss cheese slices with a softer blue cheese spread. Spread the soft cheese on the slices, wrap it around a few asparagus spears, then cook in a 230 degree C oven for about 15 minutes, or until the asparagus is soft. Ok, this way asparagus isn’t healthy. Thanksgiving is a time for a little fun. So live it up.
