Thanksgiving vegetables
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Any special Thanksgiving vegetables?
We cook different vege dishes for about 8 hours starting Weds. Favorites include sweet potato steak fries with an cinnamon apricot glaze; acorn squash rings with a marmalade sauce; and butternut cups with orange-honey-pecan topping.

Iris This year I am making cauliflower mash, green beans with bacon and broccoli casserole. I also brined my turkey for the first time....hopefully it will be as moist as what they say.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Sherry OK - maybe some will think this is boring - but I like to keep it simple. The flavor of a moist turkey is subtle and sweet - so I like to keep the integrity of the veggies:
Carrots - steamed in chicken broth with basil
Smashed red skin potatoes - skins on - salt, pepper, butter, parsley
Cucumber salad - red onion, vinegar, salt, white pepper, fresh dill, little sugar
Happy to All!!!
MAN Love the flavor of roasted veggies - mushrooms, cauliflower and asparagus at our table, as well as the "oldies but goodies" - stranger -the acorn squash rings sound wonderful - will have to try that
pmnsk Always HG. But have to be ready to sugar shake :>)
This year we added a new roasted toss: turnip, potatoes, onions, and apples tossed with cayenne, rosemary, and garlic --- quite zippy this year. Along with our traditional New England roasted root toss with parsnip, butternut, carrots and more with traditional thyme etc. spices.
Funny my easiest maple carrot sauté is bland because I used real maple syrup. It's thinner and does not set up and stick as well. Good thing we prepped a day before and had time to simmer long before serving!
And then the mashes: acorn brown sugar cinnamon and nutmeg, and honey sweet potato mash.
Simple is good too, love that cucumber salad.
Added roasted sweet potato wedges with cranberries finished with maple syrup this year:) It was a hit:)
Happy to say that I thought the turkey breast got over done but it absorbed the juices and broth I left it soaking in:)
