s/o Thanksgiving Recipes... care to post any?

I was thinking... why don't we start a Thanksgiving recipes thread? Everyone can post a recipe or two they plan on using... or if not making anything this year, just any recipe that someone might feasibly make for Thanksgiving. Could be useful in giving everyone some ideas. I know I'm always interested in possibly trying new things.

I usually make this at Thanksgiving but not this year. It's a pumpkin gingerbread trifle recipe from Paula Deen (one of her only recipes that does not call for butter)

Ingredients

• 2 (14-ounce) packages gingerbread mix
• 1 (5.1-ounce) box cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix ( I use instant works just the same)
• 1 (30-ounce) can pumpkin pie filling
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/3 teaspoon ground cardamom or cinnamon
• 1 (12-ounce) container frozen whipped topping
• 1/2 cup gingersnaps, optional

Directions

Bake the gingerbread according to the package directions; cool completely. Meanwhile, prepare the pudding and set aside to cool. Stir the pumpkin pie filling, sugar, and cardamom into the pudding. Crumble 1 batch of gingerbread into the bottom of a large, pretty bowl. Pour 1/2 of the pudding mixture over the gingerbread, then add a layer of whipped topping. Repeat with the remaining gingerbread, pudding, and whipped topping. Sprinkle of the top with crushed gingersnaps, if desired. Refrigerate overnight. Trifle can be layered in a punch bowl.

I combined a few different stuffing recipes last year and it came out pretty good.

 

14 oz cornbread stuffing

2 stalks of celery diced

1/2 onion diced

1 green apple diced

1 can of cream of mushroom soup

2 1/3 c. chicken broth

1 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp. black pepper

3 tbsp butter- melted

2 tbsp olive oil

1/2 roll of sage sausage

 

Brown sausage. 

In a separate pan, saute celery with olive oil for five minutes.  Add onion and saute for another five minutes. Add browned sausage and saute another few minutes. 

Mix mushroom soup, broth, garlic, and pepper in a large bowl.  Add onions, celery, and sausage to the mixture.   Pour entire mixture into a greased baking dish and bake at 375 degrees for about an hour and 15 minutes or until its browned on top. 

Once the stuffing is done,  pour melted butter over the top.

This frosting is AMAZING and pretty easy to make!

White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

1 8oz package of cream cheese

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened

4 cups powdered sugar

1/4 cup whipping cream

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup white chocolate, melted

1 TBS crisco

In a large bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Slowly add sugar, whipping cream and vanilla extract- beating until smooth and creamy consistency is reached.

Melt white chocolate and crisco using a double boiler or in the microwave* make sure to watch your white chocolate as it is much more finicky than its darker counterpart. If microwaving stop to check on it every 30 seconds or so and if using a double boiler constantly stir until crisco melts in.

Allow white chocolate to cool slightly before adding it to icing mixture.

Add melted white chocolate to frosting mixture and beat on high for a few minutes.

Place frosting in fridge for a few minutes before using.

Use piping bag to frost cupcakes.

GOOD GOD. Yeah, my bad. Most people find Pink Salad an "acquired taste" as it is... Could you even imagine?  {gag}
