Thanksgiving is not a time when guests are usually looking for something new and unusual on the table. The traditional turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, whatever is your tradition (green bean casserole?). While there are lots of varieties including roast and deep fried turkey (also prepared cajun style), the only mention of "cuisine minceur" at Thanksgiving is in contrast.
The Washington Post asked people to share Thanksgiving memories. At about.com, someone remembered poor Arthur Carlson and the WKRP Turkey Drop - "oh, the humanity!" The author notes that the show was loosely based on a real event. And finally, here are some ways people are throwing in a twist when they give 'em the bird:
Some Chinese Thanksgiving recipes, but look here for a chef's interpretation of "Peking Turkey."
Turkey Gumbo sounds like a good way to enjoy the leftovers, and this description of Italian Thanksgiving gives me even worse stuffed-tummy pains than usual.
Mexican Turkey for leftovers, one for shredded turkey and one for turkey stew. Or, for a spicy Thanksgiving, Mexican dishes such as turkey in chocolate chile sauce.
If you're entertaining in the penthouse, you might want to enjoy a gourmet Thanksgiving, or just have the whole thing delivered.
Tofu Turkey
Cajun Deep-Fried Wild Turkey (hope your cousin is a good hunter!)
And finally, here's something only a little unusual - roast turkey with maple glaze and cranberry bourbon relish.
Happy Thanksgiving!
