This year for Thanksgiving I’m keeping it simple, but still putting a twist on new things. Of course, there will be turkey, spatchcocked to cook faster. That’s where the normal Thanksgiving meal ends. Instead of sweet potato casserole I’m baking sweet potatoes whole and then adding a lovely dollop of marshmallow fluff before torching it a bit to mimic the char of roasted marshmallows. Instead of making both stuffing and rolls, I’m making little rolls stuffed with stuffing ingredients, very meta! Cranberry orange walnut cranberry sauce instead of basic cranberry sauce. And instead of green bean casserole? Green beans smothered in caramelized onions and mushrooms.
But, if I felt like being more ambitious, here’s what I’d love to try (probably not all together):
Turkey Roulade with Garlic and Herbs
Smoky Cranberry-Apple Sauce
Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Pears, Sage & Browned Butter
They all sound amazing, right?!

My local co-op does a wicked good vegan turkey loaf, I would totally just buy one but I don’t want to dissapoint a bunch of people with a hunk of tofu…I would rather disappoint them with my personality

this comment really cracked me up! I’ve made a really good mushroom loaf before. And I bet tempeh would be really good flavored like turkey but it wouldn’t look much like a turkey.
