Jamie's Ultimate Kosher Thanksgiving Menu
Because we eat with our eyes and learn how to cook by watching videos I’ve got the ULTIMATE KOSHER THANKSGIVING MENU featuring all (NEW!!!!) Turkey Day video recipes right here.
KOSHER THANKSGIVING TURKEY WITH GARLIC SCHMALTZ
The secret to perfectly cooked, succulent, moist, Thanksgiving Turkey is… in this video!!!!
APPLE, DATE, AND CHALLAH STUFFING
Cause challah makes the best stuffing. Unless you prefer cornbread. Which also makes the best stuffing (Honey-Cornbread Stuffing) but pretty much requires that you make homemade non-dairy cornbread. Which brings me right back to challah, which of course you can make from scratch, put those leftover scraps to good use, or buy a few loaves of challah and call it a (Turkey!) day.
Smother that bird in my Rich Porcini Turkey Gravy. Totally ok, BTW, to eat this gravy like a soup, with a spoon.
DO make extra so you can snatch a few straight from the roasting pan.
CELERY ROOT ROASTED GARLIC MASHED POTATOES
DO exercise quality control and taste this creamy (you won’t believe it’s non-dairy) mash.
DO NOT scoop a spoonful before serving (however tempted you might be) cause it ain’t pretty to serve this with a portion missing. (See above for pre-Thanksgiving dinner, tasting opportunities.)
The ultimate meringue topped pie should NOT intimidate you. That’s NEVER my intention. If a blow torch scares the stuffing out of you, top with store-bought kosher marshmallows and pop under the broiler for a few.
My two loves and lives converge in this unforgettable marriage of trendy ingredient meets Jewish classic dessert. Mazel tov, it’s a shidduch!
