Thanksgiving 2024

Thursday, November 28, 2024, 05:33 PM

We hosted a relatively low-key Thanksgiving dinner. It was basically just us plus Lulu.

Turkey

Basic dry brined turkey but I used way too much salt. I made a simple compound butter of sage and rosemary (and garlic?) using the food processor. I would use the food processor again for making these. So much easier.

It was good but like I said, too much salt!

Dressing

Used Ann's recipe except they were out of the regular stuffing mix so I used a different one. It was brown butter and something. I think it worked fine in the end! I also used 1.5 boxed of corn bread (cooked 2 but ate some) as I think that likely better matches the amounts in the corn bread recipe

Salmon

Normal Crispy Seared Salmon with a good dry-brine. As with the turkey, too salty but this was likely that I used Montreal Steak Seasoning which itself is salty.

Others From Us

Roasted canned potatoes (see Chicken Cordon Bleu and Roasted Potatoes)
Cranberry Crumb Bars with Mulling Spices [The Smitten Kitchen] (forgot a picture)
Omi's Haricots Verts Salad [Gaby Dalkin]. I forgot to go light on the oil. Also, I missed that there were two containers of green beans so it made less (and was more pickled?)

From Emily

Sweet Potato Casserole (Emily's friend's recipe. Should really be dessert)
Roasted squash
Fake Turkey
Cranberry Relish
Bread
Vegetarian stuffing

Peruvian Turkey

Saturday, November 23, 2024, 03:17 PM

For Emily's Friendsgiving, I made Peruvian style turkey. I dry-brined the turkey and then used a 4x of Peruvian Chicken (original recipe, spice mix update). I made the mix in the food processor which was a huge time saver!

I also made the sauce on the original recipe but after carefully de-seeding the jalapeños, I accidentally added it to the blender! So it was spicy but very good. I went heavy on the sour cream and probably the cilantro.

Other than not having enough, it was very well received!
