Oddly enough, they are kind of bland with honey. 😶. Great with butter, though. Still trying to think of something else to try with them, but unfortunately brain is blank. Family won’t help me clean, and am in quite a bit of pain, and being one of the major holiday cooks, I’m kind of stressing a bit, heh. Got so much to clean…I’ll try to think of something to eat with these…I hope, heh.
They’d probably be very good in savory applications. My first thought would be to use them like chapati and scoop up curry with them. Or you could use them like mini wraps.
I cook at my own place, but it makes 100% sense to bring your gear with you. This is especially important if maybe they just don’t have something. Can’t really think of anything you’re missing! Eggs, maybe?
Generally speaking, do whatever you can the day before (or several dayd before, even). Most sides will reheat well. Pies and such can be made in advance. If you do something like sous vide turchetta, you only need to brown it/heat it before serving since it’s already cooked.
the dark meat is great for chicken and dumplings. I’ll usually break it down because it’s about $5/pound here. (verse like $10 for 2 breasts…) so if you’re not needing the full bird for something, you can always re-freeze whatever you’re holding. And the chicken and dumplings are great for family meals. you can make most of it ahead of time, reheat and drop the dumplings when the family is ready to go.
It is a lot. but, the prep is spread out over several days, so there’s that. makes things manageable.
It’s just my mom and me, and neither of us is big on turkey. I found a recipe for pomegranate rosewater chicken thighs so we’re going to try that this year. Also not making a ton of sides. Salad, bread sticks, green beans and a pear walnut crumble for dessert
Normally I smoke a turkey, duck, or pork roast. But this year we have canceled Thanksgiving and probably will Christmas too. Just not enough funds to justify the cost of a big dinner for 3 people.
Definitely feel that. I just got a little ham steak and some sides I’m doing just for me this year. Not doing anything for Xmas. I’ll be recovering from a surgery, yay!
Oh just the usual. I’m allergic to poultry so we just find some good pork. Do the stuffing with better than bouillon veggie broth, I just made way too much cranberry last night (you can never have too much cranberry it’ll last three days) I think we only have three kinds of potato this year
“Cooking” (i.e. reheating) a city ham (i.e. fully cooked , Easter-style ham) sous vide this year. Just me and the partner this year,so a turkey doesn’t make sense, especially since I’m usually underwhelmed with turkey anyway.
