Thanksgiving day is a wonderful time to bring out old favorites and to try some new traditions. Don’t let the picture fool you, this is one of those wonderful bird-within-a-bird recipes. In this case it is a chicken within a goose within a turkey. The only skin and bones are from the turkey and the only bones of the turkey that remain are the legs and wings! Ready for the oven!
I am using a cornbread dressing that I discussed in a previous post. The rest of the meal is a refection of the various tastes assembled: either potatoes au gratin or sweet yams, cranberry sauce, various additions such as Gerkens, olives, gravy, various cooked and seasoned vegetables and dessert of choice is Carrot Cake with Amarula creamcheese frosting.
Since we are being festive, champagne is a wonderful accompaniment.
Enjoy your day and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
