Thanksgiving wouldn't be Thanksgiving without the pièce de résistance. The best thing we love about this turkey recipe is the buttery cider glaze.
Roast turkey infused with fresh herbs has a classic flavour that all of your guests will enjoy. Use any combination of herbs you like. If the turkey starts to brown too quickly, just cover it lightly with foil as soon as it reaches the colour you're after.
Classic meets modern in this selection of Raclette ingredients that you can prepare ahead, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the first course with guests. There's about 3 oz (90 g) of cheese per person, but heartier appetites (and cheese lovers) may want to have 5 oz (150 g), which would increase the total to 2-1/2 lb (1.25 kg).
A pale yellow filling laced with green kale in a golden crust is pretty enough for any brunch table. With all the components ready and waiting in the fridge, it takes only minutes to assemble and pop the quiche in the oven.
An intensely rich and complex sauce of chilies, seeds and chocolate, mole (pronounced moh-lay) sauce is the basis for mole chicken, turkey and cheese enchiladas. This recipe makes enough for two batches of Mole Chicken (see below) plus opportunities to use it to coat fish or pork chops.
This dish is a favorite at our home for entertaining - it is delicious, easy to make and guests are always impressed with the presentation (we bring the plank directly to the table and serve off of it!). My husband, who is currently serving in Afghanistan, was home on leave recently and it was his homecoming request for dinner! Since we are currently living in New Brunswick, we love that fresh atlantic salmon is readily available and the maple syrup here is some of the best in the world! In the spring time, I love to serve this dish with steamed fresh fiddleheads tossed in garlic butter and jasmine or basmati rice (or wild rice when we were living near Winnipeg). At other times of the year, I serve garlic sauteed spinach. If you aren't a curry lover, just leave it out and the dish is still great! Cedar planked Salmon is fantastic on the grill but can also be prepared in the oven. Enjoy!!
Kids seem to especially love noodle salads with their crunchy vegetables and appealing sauces, particularly peanut sauce. If your children don't like spicy food, just omit or reduce the hot chili paste. You can also leave out the coriander or replace the egg with shredded cooked chicken.
Quiche is a menu workhorse. You can even freeze it to rewarm when needed.
