Thanksgiving cookin’

[rabradshaw]

I had to look this up, never heard of a buttermilk pie before.
Looks tasty for sure.

This Classic Buttermilk Pie Comes Together So Easily

You can even use a store-bought crust.

It’s a Southern thing.

It’s a Southern thing.

No! It's a southern "THANG"!

GotRDid hooked me up with a recipe for brownie pie. I’ve tweaked it a little; but it’s definitely a keeper as well. It’s been through rigorous “mouth testing” also. I had planned on one of these for Thanksgiving. I’ll stick with it, as there will likely be a couple different pies at our dinner.

Honey smoked ham and a standing rib roast! No damn turkey!

Hey Butch, UR prolly not from New England...re your choice of food for Thanksgiving. Regardless have a good day with family and friends !!

 

[GotRDid]

No! It's a southern "THANG"!

“Suthyn Thang”; there, fixed it for you both.

Brining sounds good. I was thinking about adding jalapeños to the brine, but maybe cut them in half and soak them in vodka or bourbon, then add that to the brine. Add a few inside the turkey while frying. I’ll get started on the infused alcohol today.

Just don’t “infuse” yourself in the process!

I decided to go with jalapeño in the brine. It’s starting with infusing some of the ingredients in bourbon. It’s a mix of ideas from several brine recipes. So far the infusion has:
1 pound of jalapeños, thick slices
1.5oz Navel Orange peel
5 Bay leaves
3 tablespoons black peppercorns
1 cup brown sugar
10 cloves

I may add a cup of Jaggery sugar

And here’s where the experiment gets expensive; 1 liter of Maker’s Mark. I’ll pour it all into a brine on Wednesday.

10 pounds of chittlins(half of them fried), 2-3 pones of cornbread, 4 sweet potato pies and 2 gallons of sweet tea should feed the family. Wife makes me boil them outside. Chittlins are only .060” from being ham.

My wife made a Buttermilk Pie. Practice pie before the full court press. It is a fine pie.

buttermilk pie is one of the best ever, I think it is close to Chess pie.

 

[Kracken McGraw]

Dish washing, lots of it.

 

[jackieschmidt]

We are expecting at least 25 people, I make enough for Thanks Giving, which I will cook Thursday morning, then freeze 1/2 of it to cook for Christmas.

I posted the recipe last year.

It’s not a complicated mix, and is a meal in its self. I have never had any complaints.

My sourdough focaccia is going in the oven tonight. Its always a favorite. Those that know me know I love to cook. I'm working wed and Friday, so I don't think I'm smoking a turkey this year, but will have a good mess of food!

We love butter Chess pie. Guessing it came from the Depression era with the few basic ingredients it has.

I hope you've got some giblets in there!

I've made Jackie's recipe and it was really good.

To save some time searching, here's Jackie's post and recipe from last year.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, it’s that time of year, time to make my Thanks Giving Dressing for the big meal Thursday.

Sometime around 20 years ago, I got handed this job. It’s pretty labor intensive, and I pretty much mess up the kitchen making it, but the results are well worth the effort.

While It’s not a complicated recipe, it is actually a meal in it‘s self.

I make enough to feed around 25 on Thanks Giving, we freeze the remainder for Christmas Dinner.

6 chicken breast
6 chicken thighs
6 bunches of celery
6 bunches of green onions.
5 apples
6 eight inch cornbread cakes.
2 sticks of butter
8 boiled eggs
salt, pepper, and sage.

In a large pan, boil chicken breast and thighs, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Dice celery sticks and green onion stalks, including the white bases. Boil in a large pot with salt and pepper seasoning.
dice the 8 boiled eggs.
Peel and dice the apples into around 1/2 inch chunks.
remove skin and debone the chicken, break into small chunks.

crush the 6 cornbread cakes in a large pan, around 2 gallons, into fine pieces.
Start adding the chicken broth and celery/onion soup until throughly wet.
Mix in the chicken pieces thoroughly.
Mix in all of the cooked green onions and celery bits.
Mix in the apple chunks. Melt the 2 sticks of butter and mix in.
mix in the diced boiled eggs.

Start seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste. When satisfied, start adding sage to taste.

Continue adding the chicken broth and celery soup until thoroughly wet. Lay a table spoon flush with the mix. If it readily fills with liquid, that about the right consistency.

Bake at 325 degrees for 2 hours in 8x12 aluminum pans, or until a knife blade comes out pretty clean.

enjoy with giblet gravy if so desired, or just by it’s self.

It looks good. I

Time to show off your Thanksgiving cookin. Headed to our family dinner today. Since Mom’s passing I’ve been making the dumplings. I make mine with dark meat whereas Mom always used white. I’ve always thought mine were a bit better because of that. My daughter says mine will never be as good because “Grandma makes hers with Grandma lovin.” I’ve got two crock pots full.

It looks good. But I agree on the dark meat. It is just more flavorful and moist than the white meat is. Wife prefers dark meat also. Thanks for sharing.

 

[jackieschmidt]

Thanks for posting my recipe. For this year, I had to increase the ingredients because we have more people coming over.

 

[JFrank]

It’s just two of us so I’m doing a 9 pound Turkey breast with the usual side dishes, salads and pies.

I like the appetizers and snacks to include;
Deviled eggs
Crab salad
Pineapple
Summer sausage
Cheddar cheese
Crackers
Chocolates
I don’t want to over do it and spoil my appetite with any more. Well maybe some chips…

 

[rockhound78]

Buttermilk pie, butter chess pie, lemon chess pie (my favorite!!). Even had a chocolate chess pie, which wasn't bad. Nobody here knows anything about them, just give me a look when I mention them. Need to try a recipie for one someday.
Taking wife out for Thanksgiving. Just us two so not going to turn the kitchen into a disaster area this year.
