Thanksgiving Bonanza

So, I wanted to celebrate the holiday with the traditional food, made in an "untraditional"way. Here's what I came up with~!

For the TURKEY and STUFFING:

- I made a box stuffing and baked it for 20 minutes so it's a little more crispy and not soggy.

- I used turkey scalopini (cutlets), brushed with melted butter, dashed with salt and pepper, filled with the stuffing and rolled up and then pinned with toothpicks.

-Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes turning and basting with butter every 10 minutes.

- Brilliant, because you're still getting your "stuffed turkey" fix.

For the CRANBERRY sauce:

- Boil 2 cups fresh cranberries with 1/2 cup orange juice, 5 large chopped strawberries and 1 small box of raspberries and 1/2 cup sugar. Simmer until cranberries burst, strain, cool and voila.

For the POTATOES:

- Grate 3 medium sized potatoes, mix with 1 egg and 1/2 cup flour and salt and pepper.

-Heat up a pan with oil, make potatoe patties and fry until both sides are golden. Simple, different and tasty!

For the SWEET POTATOES:

- Boil your sweet potatoe (I used 1 for the 2 of us) in salted water with a cinnamon stick until tender.

-Drain when ready, mash with 2 tbsps milk, butter, more salt and pepper and a dash of brown sugar and rosemary.

- Place in small baking dish and top with mini marshmallows. Bake alongside turkey for 20 minutes, or until mallows are getting roasty.

For the rest, I cheated: I baked a pumpkin pie with canned filling, I used a packaged gravy mix too :) I served boiled baby carrots and peas with s & p and butter!

Gobblemoolicious!
