It's a celebration of the Pilgrim's early successes in America, won through hard work to tame the land in what was for them a new world. Every year it's a traditional meal. Pumpkin pie ends a turkey dinner that includes all the extras. Families gather not only to celebrate the historic event, but just to catch up with everyone's lives. Thanksgiving dinner recipes can be quite different, as there are many ways to cook a turkey. 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. A turkey can be fried instead of broiled. It won't get greasy. The oil can't penetrate the skin after the hot oil sears it. 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. Get that oil hot, up to 350F. It's finished cooking when the breast measures at 170F, which will take about three minutes per pound. Frying a turkey doesn't involve cooking the stuffing inside the bird, but it does include spices directly 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.
