Thanksgiving Recipe Roundup

Yum
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, so just in case you need some ideas for your big meal (and leftovers) I've made a list of recipes for you to browse.

Also, if you haven't checked out my different tabs, check them out!  I have some excellent nutritional information on gluten free flours on my GF Flour 101 page and a fun cake ideas page.

Main Dish
I haven't put any of my own turkey or ham recipes up, but there's plenty out there to choose from. A couple basic recipes that I use are:

Traditional Holiday Turkey (just use gf flour)
Honey brine for Turkey

Thanksgiving Ideas

Yum
As Thanksgiving approaches, I thought I would pass along some ideas for food. Last year, I had Thanksgiving at home and made everything, and it was fantastic. Here is last year's menu.  This year we'll be at my Mom's and I'm bringing stuffing and pies. So, it'll probably be Grandma Tolman's Stuffing and at least pumpkin pie, razzleberry pie, and either banana cream pie or caramel apple pie.

Turkey is basic, and easy to do, just make sure you have a gluten-free turkey.  Some companies inject flavorings into the bird, or have gravy packets in the bird...so check and make sure it's safe.

For sides, I have several great recipes:







For mashed potatoes, I boil cubed potatoes, then just eyeball the margarine, non-dairy milk, salt and pepper to add.

For gravy, you can either use rice flour and make a roux, and add in drippings and chicken stock to make the gravy, or add cornstarch to the drippings.
For dessert:







Raspberry Peach Crisp (or apple, peach, or any other fruit crisp, for that matter)
