I have a free turkey from Thanksgiving in the freezer and I just found out I am hosting Christmas this year. What can I serve with it that would be different from Thanksgiving? I was thinking homemade mac and cheese, but I am not sure.
Thanks.
Answer:
Not sure what you stuffed the turkey with for thanksgiving, but how about trying a new stuffing recipe? Like cornbread stuffing instead of sage dressing, or a mushroom and rice stuffing? There are different ways you can prepare it, as well. Instead of just popping it in the oven and roasting, you could smoke it on the grill, marinate it in an apple cidar vinegar brine, or try giving it an orange-honey glaze. Another thing you can do is mix up the side dishes, as you suggested with the mac and cheese. Trying something non-traditional is always great fun!! Mac and Cheese, Scalloped potatoes instead of mashed, etc. If you go on Butterball.com, they have 5 different idea's for serving a 'traditional' turkey dinner. Only the first one is the one we all know and love. The next four are pretty fun. Just click on the holiday guide, and it will take you there. Personally, I never get sick of turkey...I even eat it when it's NOT a holiday. Free turkey??? Lucky YOU!! :) ENJOY!!
cook a roast, LOL... Cook the turkey, cut it up and freeze it for another day..
This is my specialty and my family loves it.
Boil 2 big bunches (chopped) broccoli, 2 bags of rice. When they are done mix in 1 can of cream of mushroom and 1 can of cream of chicken soups. Add cubed velvetta. Stir. Bake for 10 minutes 400 degrees.
Yummeee stuff!!
Rice Pilaf, or a squash would be good. You can get Acorn squash and half them, stuff them, and bake them, or...rather than mashed potato, try red potato cut up in wedges. Throw all the potato pieces in a large zip lock and pour in a few table spoons of olive oil until all the pieces are coated. Add fresh or granulated garlic, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese and then bake in a caserole dish, taking the lid off near the end so that the cheese turns a nice golden brown - YUM!
Creamed potatoes with peas, green bean cassarole. How about some ham instead of turkey? Everybody just had turkey.
Don't worry about making it too different from Thanksgiving. As long as it tasted good and people enjoyed it then why not have it the same way.
If you try to be too creative it may not work out.
well you could have some corn bread some roles and brocclie salad and for desert you could get or make jello! good luck!
Merry Christmas!
You could have the stuffing the same but have green beans instead of peas. But if the next year you arnt eating turky, try chicken or duck.
macroni and cheese
ham
I like your mac and cheese idea a lot.
OR
How about some fancy turkey "panini" style sandwiches you make in your grill pan or george forman grill? They have lots of great ideas at Panera bread for that.
OR
with sides of wild rice, balsamic glazed asparagus and french bread instead of dinner rolls.
Look, I'm not sure that "mac and cheese" goes well with turkey dinner at all. Its a rich dinner anyway and all that extra cheese, well, not good.....
You know, we get such rare opportunities to eat a real turkey dinner with all the trimmings during the year, that I personally NEVER get sick of it. I am Canadian-Mexican so in Canada we eat Thanksgiving dinner mid-October a month and a half before you guys in the States. In Mexico, the ONLY turkey dinner we have during the year is Christmas Eve! So in both countries, we don't have this problem of two turkey dinners too close together.
Nevertheless, I think that you are worrying too much! If you want a little change, try to make a variant on the traditional dishes, i.e. if you had mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving, make oven-roasted at Christmas, if you served carrots and peas, then go with creamed corn this time. Maybe make Yorkshire puddings instead of potatoes that kind of thing! Try a little garlic in the gravy or sour cream or mushrooms. Change the stuffing a bit.......
But honestly, I wouldn't change a lot if I were you. People LOVE their traditional turkey dinners and the last thing you want to hear at Christmas after all your hard work is: "Hey what's this macaroni crap? Where the hell are my lumpy mashed potatoes?"
