My new Brother in law is doing a deep fried turkey for the family this year. Never had one, so should be interesting.

I'm gonna cook "stuffing" since no one else in my family likes it. I do it for just me!

Edit to add: I had the Pumpkin Yule Log over at Disneyland on Sunday. Yum Yum Yum!! It was soooooo freekin good.!!

That's what Ocean Spray said. We tried. We failed. My mom's making the pineapple one this year. I might make it, too.

Vegetarian Dressing

3/4 C onion, diced
1/2 C celery, diced
1/2 C apple, peeled & diced
2 tsp. dried or 3 T fresh minced parsley
1/2 tsp. dried sage
1/4 tsp. salt
pinch cayenne
4 C bread cubes
1/2 C raisins
1/4 C chopped pecans
1 T vegetable oil
1/2 C + 2 T veggie broth (or chicken or beef if you insist and you aren't serving vegetarians)

Preheat oven to 350. Saute onion, celery, and apple with spices/herbs until tender.

Combine bread mix with onion mix, raisins, pecans, stock, and oil. Mix well. Season to taste wtih salt & pepper. Adjust liquid if needed. Put mixture into a greased baking dish.

Bake covered for 20 min. and 15-20 min. uncovered. Serves 4.

FYI, the first recipe was given to me by my mom. I don't know where she got it. The dressing recipe I found on the web last night, but I copied the recipe down instead of bookmarking the page. I haven't tried either of these, at least not yet.

I don't like cranberry sauce in any form, but for everyone for whom I've ever prepared Thanksgiving dinner, this is the one item they don't seem to want from scratch: they want the can-shape, even! It's the warm nostalgic "that's what I had as a kid" thing, I guess. To me, it just loooooks foul, but since I don't eat it anyway, I just provide what they want for their Turkey Day experience. I've got 364 other nights of the year to experiment...

The problem with my stuffing recipie is that I never write it down and it takes me a month to remember all of the ingredients. All of these vegetarian stuffing recipies had me remember one inportant stuffing ingredient - sausage!

Celery, sausage, onion, wild mushrooms, wild rice, bread, water chestnuts, nuts of some sort, sherry or cognac, green apples, prunes or dried cranberries or currents..........even then I'm sure I'm forgetting something.

It's REALLY good unless you're a picky eater. Bah to those people anyways.

I don't think I've ever had cranberry sauce from a can.

Non-Vegetarian Dressing

chicken apple sausage loose (or links cut into a dice) or pork sausage
1 C onion, diced
3/4 C celery, diced
2 apples, peeled & diced
dried apricots, chopped
raisins (mix, golden, red flame, whatever)
1/4 t dried sage
fresh parsley (italian or curley or both)
salt and pepper to taste
1 large loaf of egg twist bread (or a really nice brioche), day old, cut into 1" cubes
broth (chicken or veggie) as much as needed

Saute sausage in a bit of butter or oil until browned and delicous. Drain well, and save a bit of the fat in the pan with all the yummy brown bits to begin the next step.

Saute the onion, celery until translucent, then add to the cooked sausage let this cool somewhat. In a large bowl. add the add apples, apricots, rasins, parsley and sage mix well and add broth or stock as much as needed to keep moist.

Season once more with salt and pepper if needed.

Dot the top with butter and bread crumbs (from the loaf you cubed) and cover and bake in 350 degree over for about 25 minutes and then uncover it and give it another 10 minutes or so, or a shot under the broiler to crisp the top layer.

This is pretty much the recipe I use always and I never go home with any of it. You can fudge any of the ingredients to your own taste. I do prefer the chicken apple sausage, it's really nice.

The other nice thing about cranberry sauce shaped like the can is that it's easy to slice to put on sandwiches the next day.
