    Tips for Thanksgiving

    Recipe




    ~ If preparing food the day before, cover and put a note on top to
    remind you of oven temp., how long to bake or reheat. Have all
    serving pieces ready and enjoy the day.

    ~To decorate the dining room table or sideboard, fill a glass
    bowl or trifle dish with water and float fresh cranberries and
    floating candles. For height invert a glass bowl and set another
    glass bowl on the top.

    ~Use a slow cooker to keep that special veggie or the mashed
    potatoes warm until serving time.

    ~To make an easy soup from turkey bones, put them back in
    the roasting pan, cover with water, put lid on and put back in
    oven for 3-4 hours. Not only will the soup not need watching,
    but it cleans the roaster and gets all the stuck on goodies into
    the soup.

    ~Shop for the holiday on the weekend before. Then every night
    chop, slice, dice or prep at least one item. Also, set the table
    the night before. By Thanksgiving Day you will only have to
    assemble. This also cuts back on the panic runs to the store
    for forgotten items.

    ~To remove the fat from broth, drop ice cubes in the stock after
    it has been removed from the heat source. The fat that has
    risen to the top of the stockpot will cling to the ice cube and
    can be removed from the stock with a spoon, thus reducing the
    fat in your broth.

    ~For the moistest turkey you have ever served just simply roast
    it upside down. While it's cooking all of the juices will flow
    down into the breast meat. Turn it over the last hour and you
    will still have a golden bird that is super moist. Everyone
    comments on how good it is and all you did is cook it upside
    down.

    ~When making gravy for the turkey, use a few drops of yellow
    food coloring to make the gravy look very rich in color.
