Turkey Day Treats 2012

I have a very interesting friend who loves to cook. She did an amazing take on Thanksgiving turkey this year. She took her inspiration from this site: The Runaway Spoon

And here is her finished product. She said the turkey was delicious and the white meat was unbelievably moist.
 

If you like to cook, this is a time to have fun. I am taking two dishes to Thanksgiving at sister-in-law's, the Wasabi Potato Salad, from an earlier post and a Maple Cranberry Wild Rice dish, the recipe for which the chef at the Puget Sound Consumer Coop Deli shared with me. Since it's not on their web sites recipes I'm not posting it but it involves two kinds of rice, cranberry relish (available in their deli), yam chunks roasted with thyme, toasted pecans, dried cranberries and a dressing involving pureed onion, maple syrup and cider vinegar. It's so tasty, you just keep munching on it. I have reverse engineered several of the PCC salads as the ingredients are listed next to them.
