Thanksgiving is a time of food. The Pilgrims worked hard to make the new world their home, and this was their celebration. Every year it’s a traditional meal. The table is jammed with turkey, stuffing and all the trimmings. History aside, families also like to get everyone together in one room. The food may be similar, but Thanksgiving dinner recipes have as much variety as the colors of the leaves on the November trees.

How about this recipe for a delicious appetizer? Move the pumpkin from the pie to the soup. Butter and oil simmer over a medium heat. Add leaks to saute, only the white portion, until soft. Pumpkin puree, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and salt join the party. Now stir in some vegetable broth. Next comes brown sugar. Bring it to a low boil then let it simmer for 10 minutes. Cream or half and half are optional, along with a pinch of cinnamon on top of each bowl. Mmmm boy that’s delicious.

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.

For some other soup ideas try curried pumpkin apple soup, butternut squash soup, or pumpkin and sausage soup. But there are other good appetizers for the meal. Give cheese wrapped asparagus a try. Both sliced and spread cheese go into this one. A blue cheese spread over slices of swiss can be good. The slices are spread with the other cheese, wrapped around a few spears, and cooked at 230C until the asparagus is soft. Sure wrapping cheese around asparagus turns a pretty healthy food into something a little more fattening. Thanksgiving is a time for a little fun. So live it up.
