Spicy Turkey Soup with Yogurt, Chickpeas, and Mint

Spicy Turkey Soup with Yogurt, Chickpeas, and Mint

I will be the first to admit that I love my mother's turkey soup, the one she makes with the turkey carcass and leftover turkey from Thanksgiving dinner. That said, by the time the fourth day of eating leftovers comes around, I am just a little bit tired of the same ole same ole turkey taste and usually don't want to see another turkey recipe for another year. If any of you feel the same way, I encourage you to give this turkey soup recipe a try. The original recipe is from Joyce Goldstein, and called for chicken. My friend and neighbor Evie Lieb prepared this soup for a group of us recently and all I could think of was how well it would work with leftover turkey (while going back for seconds and thirds). Well, I made it a few days ago and can't stop eating it. It's tangy and spicy and completely holds up to the strong flavor of the turkey (including the thigh meat I used when testing). Ever have tom kha gai, the Thai coconut milk, chicken, lemongrass soup? That's what this soup reminds me of the most in terms of the flavors. It's also really easy to make, if you are working with turkey leftovers, it cooks up in a little more time than it takes to cook the rice.

Green Beans with Almonds and Thyme

Green Beans with Almonds and Thyme

From the recipe archive, perfect for Thanksgiving!

Green beans are the labradors of the vegetable world, they just seem to get along with everyone. Which is why you will usually find some incarnation of green beans on a holiday dinner menu. This simple preparation of green beans, with butter, thyme, and toasted almonds, comes from my friend Heidi in Carlisle Mass, and over the years has become one of my favorites.

Turkey ready to go in the oven

My mom's turkey is unlike others. The breast meat isn't dried out, requiring cupfuls of gravy to taste good, but moist and flavorful. I've been watching her make our family turkey for years. Finally a few years ago she let me make it, giving instructions the entire time. Here I am, ready to put it in the oven. Mom's method is to buy the best quality turkey available (organic, free-range, etc.) and cook it breast-side down. She also cooks the turkey stuffing separately, not in the cavity, which makes it easier to cook the turkey more evenly.

Mashed Potatoes with Brown Butter, Goat Cheese, and Sage

Mashed Potatoes with Brown Butter, Goat Cheese, and Sage

Guest author Garrett and I made these mashed potatoes the other day. So good! ~Elise

The story of my first Thanksgiving away from home is one I tell with pride. Sure, we all have epic disasters in the kitchen and Thanksgiving horror stories to tell, but mine is epic. The dinner was a wreck: the cornbread burned, the turkey was frozen inside, the green bean casserole was served as a soup, the bacon for the stuffing caught fire, I forgot to add sugar to the cranberry sauce, and my roommate exploded a pie in an aluminum pie plate in the microwave. In total we set off the fire alarm three times. Picking over the wreckage we were somehow able to glean enough food for an actual meal but the experience had jarred for us all.

Still, one dish came out perfectly - the mashed potatoes. Not regular mashed potatoes, but loaded with salty goat cheese and mellow bits of sage mashed potaotes. Dreamy and creamy, they were the biggest (and only) hit of the night.

Many years later and I've tinkered the recipe with Elise. We took out the cream in lieu of more goat cheese and added brown butter to the mix. The result is the smoothest potatoes you've ever had with a nutty, earthy flavor. It's a dish that can save any Thanksgiving dinner.

How to Brown Butter

How to Brown Butter

Have you ever browned butter? It's an easy way to take a recipe that relies on butter up a notch in flavor. Just by cooking the butter a little past the melting point results in the milk solids in the butter browning, and creating a wonderfully nutty aroma. It's fun to do with butter-based sauces, baked goods that call for melted butter, or with vegetables such as winter squash that you sauté in butter. Just be sure to keep your eye on it while cooking; it's pretty easy to go from browned to burnt.

What do you like to make with browned butter? Let us know in the comments.

Pumpkin Cheesecake

Pumpkin Cheesecake

This is a righteous pumpkin cheesecake. (Hmm, now that I think about it, what does that mean? I have visions of Alvin the Chipmunk taking a bite of this cake and squeeking "Righteous!") It's tall, it's proud, it's creamy. It loves being bathed in caramel sauce and whipped cream. It's what happens when a New York cheesecake decides to dress up for Halloween. For years my mother has been asking me to make a cheesecake for her (she is a "cake girl" and cheesecake her favorite cake), and for years I've declined (until now), because the whole process just seemed too complicated. Well frankly, it is a little complicated. You do need a springform pan, and you do need to cook the cake in a water bath. But it is entirely doable. I think you could even halve the filling recipe and make it in a standard pie tin, if you don't have a springform pan (reduce the cooking time). And if you are a fan of cheesecake and pumpkin pie, this cake is so worth doing. Just be warned that it serves a small army, which might be just what you need for the holidays.

Turnip Gratin

Turnip Gratin

I'm guessing that you are either a turnip lover or not. Turnips aren't one of those happy-go-lucky neutral vegetables, like green beans for example, that seem to get along with everyone. No, turnips have a bit more "I dare you to eat me" attitude, that unfortunately ends up keeping too many people away from them. Well, if you are a turnip lover, you should be drooling right now, just with the very concept of this turnip gratin, a casserole layered with thinly sliced, tender turnips, onions, bread, and bubbly browned Gruyere cheese. You will not be disappointed (at least I hope you won't). If you fall in the "uh, maybe not, no, no thank you" camp, if there is one recipe that could possibly change your mind, this is it. We have made it 4 times in the last 2 weeks and will likely find its way to our Thanksgiving table this year. So, if you're on the fence, give it a shot!
