Here’s how my turkey’s gonna go down this Thanksgiving: Bay & Lemon Brined Turkey, courtesy of Bloghungry. Also, for bonus points, check out the sweet-sounding mashed potatoes recipe with chives, thyme, and tons of garlic. Yum.
I think this recipe for sweet potatoes doused in apple juice concentrate is at the very least worth trying, plus it gives me an excuse to use my microwave for something other than reheating leftovers. From Bearly Edible.
Cranberry sauce is pretty darn healthy, so there’s no excuse not to pig out on the stuff this coming week. However, I really can’t stand the canned stuff that’s prevalent at Thanksgiving feasts, so I’m gonna go ahead and recommend this guy: Cranberry Sauce with Zing, from The Glittering Eye.
Love My Philly posted a delicious-looking recipe for Pumpkin Pie Bars.
However, pies should not be written out of the equation. Unlike the cranberries, I love the canned pumpkin, and pies can be easily made with it. Start Cooking has an excellent, picture-heavy recipe for such a pumpkin pie.
