Nicole's Thanksgiving Meal

Spelt Stuffing 4 servings

8 slices Pacific Bakery spelt bread

1/4 cup onion or leeks

3 stalks celery

1/2 tea thyme

1 tea rosemary

1/4 tea basil

Salt ( just a sprinkle)

Water

3 tbs. butter

Toast bread and crumble in a bowl. Add spices, chopped celery and onion. Fill with water just so it covers and absorbs the bread. Add butter and place in oven 350% 10-15 min 

 

Turkey

After you clean the turkey and get rid of all the liver and goblets, place the turkey in the pan breast up. Pre heat the oven at 400.Cut slices of garlic, rosemary, thyme, sage, salt and pepper and stuff them under the skin all over. Also you can rub the turkey on the top of the skin. It will be flavored more if it is under and on the skin. You will need enough to cover it generously. Pour 1/2 chicken broth or water on the pan. Place the thermometer parallel to breastbone deep in. Let it reach 170-175, the leg will be 180. With a baster pour the juices all over the turkey every 20 min to avoid it being dry. 

My Stuffed Zucchini recipe that is posted on the site would go good with this. Potatoes and Rita's Spring Vegetables would be great. For an appetizer you can make my artichoke dip. I always make my self some ice tea out of cinnamon or lemon basil. It is real good and I don't feel left out that way. I just boil the leaves in a pot and pour them in a picture and place in the fridge.

 

 


 

Catherine's Breakfast for Busy Women

Needed: egg coddler

For those who rush in the a.m., try the night before mixing up:

1 egg white (I use Simply Egg Whites, so 2 tablespoons = 1 egg white) (authors note - check for any added ingredients) OR for those without cholesterol problems you can use 1 whole beaten egg finely chopped onion and celery finely chopped meat of your preference (chicken, beef - cured meat not allowed for us) grated mozzarella cheese

Depending on the size of your coddler (mine is small) you can judge how much of the ingredients will be correct. Fill the coddler up to less than 3/4 full as on cooking it rises.

Put your ingredients in the fridge covered with Saran. The next a.m., coat the inside of the coddler with a little butter, put the ingredients in, screw on the lid, place the coddler in a pan of hot water, making sure it reaches half way up the coddler. Set the timer for 15 minutes. Boil. You will be amazed how much you can accomplish in 15 minutes in getting ready to start your day. Meanwhile, your breakfast is cooking.

When you screw off the lid the ingredients will have risen, and be cooked, with the veggies not mushy. The cheese is yummy! Enjoy!
