5 Thanksgiving Recipes
Share this:
The traditions and flavors of our Thanksgiving meal are rich. Rich doesn’t have to mean loaded with fat and calories. Herbs, spices, cooking technique, and ingredient combinations can lead to a memorable meal experience. Right here in our Dan Abraham Healthy Living Center kitchen, we have created interesting takes on the traditional. We’d like to share 5 with you:
- Often the centerpiece of the meal, the holiday bird must look and taste delicious. This recipe literally adds the base of flavor from mire poix – onions, carrots, and celery. The turkey is rubbed in fragrant herbs. Try this Roasted Holiday Turkey recipe!
- Cooking for a smaller crowd? Consider this turkey breast with cranberry chutney. The flavor combinations in the chutney will hit every taste sensor in your mouth.
- Practically a tradition here at the DAHLC, the Midwest Pride Stuffing delivers that traditional holiday favorite in a healthy package.
- Searching for that recipe to update your traditions? The roasted squash with wild rice and cranberry recipe embodies all that is seasonal and much of it is local too.
- And for some, the best part of Thanksgiving is the leftovers! I could date myself with a reference to the iconic sitcom, Friends, but I’ll let the sandwich speak for itself – just label it if you put in the work fridge. Try this Turkey and Cranberry Salad Sandwich!
Here’s to eating well and enjoying food, family, and friends,
