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.
