What's your Thanksgiving specialty?
Ok....I am referring to recipes! There are alot of good cooks here at Bogley (male and female) so how about sharing an old family recipe/specialty that you usually make only during the holidays. Here is one that always wins rave reviews - even from people who claim they don't like yams or sweet potatoes. (I have to double or sometimes triple the recipe depending on how many people are coming).
Sweet Potato Praline Casserole
Ingredients:
1 large can sweet potatoes (or yams) drained
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup margarine, melted
2 eggs
***Topping***
1/4 cup margarine, melted
3 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup pecans, chopped
Directions:
Mash potatoes; add salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon, sugar, melted margarine and eggs. Put into greased casserole (9x9). Mix topping ingredients and sprinkle over top of potato mixture. Bake at 350
degrees F for 30 minutes.

XBOX?
I cooked my first turkey last year. Turned out awesome. Since we are going to both sets of parents this year we decided to skip making a dinner this year.The man thong is wrong.

Savanna has me beat, but the one thing my family requests I bring to dinner is candied yams. I just peel them, cook them in the microwave chop into chunks, throw some butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract on them in a pan and cook for a bit and top with marshmellows. Maybe if I am feeling fancy throw on some cinamon. Oh and apple pie.

My specialty is making the turkey. The recipe is pretty simple:
- Turkey (appropriate size based on # of guests)
- Giblets removed (to be used in stuffing)
- Coated in olive oil
- White wine (any Riesling) poured (1/2 bottle) into open cavity
- Red or white apple quartered and inserted into open cavity
- Stuffing inserted (the wife makes this from scratch)
- Exterior of the bird seasoned (fresh ground pepper, Lowry's Season-All)
- Minced garlic sprinkled over the top of the turkey
- Bake covered with meat thermometer
- Remove from oven when at the correct temperature
- Allow to sit for at least 15 minutes before carving
- Serve & enjoy
Don't forget to enjoy your favorite Red Zinfandel, white Riesling or Champagne.

There is a wine tasting event in Vegas this weekend to get the holiday started off right! I am going!
6th Annual Lee's Wine Experience
November 22nd at the
Las Vegas Hilton 3pm to 8pm
I too like that Turkey recepie! Anytime you cut the fat (or at least use olive oil) and add wine, it's healthier and much better!

For what it's worth: A couple of years ago, my wife asked me to throw in a turkey for Easter or something like that. I brined it, then accidentally placed the turkey in the pan upside down. That was one of the best turkeys we ever had! The breast meat was extra flavorful as it had cooked in all the juices, instead of being up out of the juices as it normally would be.
My specialty though, is eating!

I was told "we don't have any special recipies"
For ME however, (when I am allowed to be IN the kitchen) breastside down turkey is DA BOMB! I love a good ham roast too so we usually have a combination of ham & turkey, candied yams (YUM) , Yukon Gold potatoes ground through a culinder to resemble rice with butter and cream, stuffing too but I like mine outside the bird so it's not so soggy, AND, lots o' gravy
...........oh, and cranberry jello
