Thanksgiving Recipe Exchange?

skyla13 · November 2014

Would anyone be interested in having a thread to exchange ideas and recipes for Thanksgiving?

I am going to have to shake some things up this year, since we found out my husband is gluten intolerant, and it's always fun to see what other people do. I think we did something similar last year, but I thought it might be fun to do it again.

Yes please! I love Thanksgiving recipes!

Love this idea!

Yes! I have a certain food I look forward to every thanksgiving so I'll share that recipe. It's quite easy... It's fried cauliflower NOT breaded. You cook the cauliflower first then soak it in scrambled egg yolk. Have a frying pan on your stove and put some oil in it, then take the cauliflower and fry it in the oil until golden brown. BEST FOOD EVER!!!!!! =P~

I'm going to Thanksgiving with DH's family and the people hosting are vegan. I'm not excited. I'm making our own Thanksgiving dinner the day after.

I'm thinking of making a pumpkin pie. I have never made any type of pie in my life. Someone please tell me it's easy! Recipe hunt begins.

I have the best pumpkin pie recipe, when I get home I will find it for you! @dancem

skyla13 · November 2014

@WhenInRome11‌ I would struggle with that too

I'm definitely in. @acethebase‌ that sounds delicious. I may have to give that a trial run this week. Do you put any seasoning in the egg yolk?

Nope, maybe just a little bit of salt afterwards but taste it before you do. It's delicious!!!!! And let me know what you think

I'm in! I love thanksgiving food. Yum yum!

dovetail223 · November 2014

I'm in too! I usually cook the entire dinner.

@DanceM‌ pumpkin pie is easy especially if you buy pre-made crust

I like to use half butter and half shortening in my pie crust, and replace about 1/3 of the flour with potato flour. Super flaky and tender! Just keep handling to a minimum.

We have 4 Thanksgiving dinners to go to. 1 the Sunday before, my moms family uses this as an excuse to have a family reunion. Then all 3 of our parents the day of.

@DanceM here is my pumpkin pie recipe. I have made my own crust, or just used pre-made uncooked dough and both work great.

1 small can pumpkin

1/2 tsp salt

2 eggs (2 pies, use 5)

2/3 c brown sugar

2 Tbs white sugar

2 tsp pumpkin spice

1 can evaporated milk

Mix all together with whisk, pour into uncooked pie crust that has been pierced with a fork a few times. Cook 375* for 1 hr on bottom rack (or until toothpick comes out clean).

I have done the butter/shortening - I have never used potato flour though! Where do you buy that? I'm not sure I've ever seen it before.

I am a vegetarian, so I would love to go to a vegan Thanksgiving! But I would never expect to host a vegetarian/vegan Thanksgiving. Pick any other day to host a vegan meal but not Thanksgiving, unless all your friends and family are vegan.

Oh and it is so worth it to make your own pie dough. I have a great blueberry pie recipe if anyone is interrested.

I've found it at Von's (our Safeway). It's in a blue box, and it might be called potato starch.

I love potato flour as a thickener in sauces, too. It's kind of a best of both worlds between flour and corn starch, IMO.

Here is my sweet potato recipe.

I make it ahead of time @crunchymama11‌

Whipped Sweet Potatoes with Brown Sugar-Pecan Topping

For sweet potatoes
22 ounces red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams; about 2 large), peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 large egg
6 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Pinch of salt

For topping
1 1/2 cups cornflakes, crushed
1/2 cup (packed) brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Make sweet potatoes:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Cook sweet potatoes in large pot of boiling water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain; transfer potatoes to large bowl and add butter. Using electric mixer, beat until smooth. Add egg, sugar, spice and salt; beat to blend. Transfer mixture to 8 x 8-inch baking dish. Bake potatoes until beginning to brown around edges and slightly puffed, about 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare topping:
Mix together all ingredients in medium bowl.

Spoon topping evenly over potatoes. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes longer.

Prepare a day ahead:
Prepare as directed but use the dish from your crockpot slow cooker. Refrigerate over night. Warm on LOW setting for approx. 2 hours before serving.

Right? Supposedly someone is bringing a turkey but I'm not convinced.

I eat vegetarian and vegan a lot but not on Thanksgiving.

I think I may bring apple, sausage stuffing. I need meat on Thanksgiving!

I didn't get online yesterday, so I just saw this. Thank you for the recipe! I'm sure it wil be great!

skyla13 · November 2014

Ok I am in search of a gluten free recipe for stuffing. Which I know sounds a little crazy, but does anyone know of any made with corn bread that is good?
