Title: THANKSGIVING TURKEY MARINADE – DKP
Categories: Marinades, Poultry, Di, Holidays
Yield: 1 marinade

See recipe

Thaw turkey (if frozen) on Monday Tuesday in
refrigerator.

On Wednesday, put 3 onions (cut up), 4 garlic cloves
(sliced) and 1 large bunch of parsley in cavity of
bird.

Pour Vernors (ginger ale) and 8 oz orange juice
concentrate in cavity. Cover and rub bird with
Catalina dressing. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and
pepper and paprika. I put the whole mess in a garbage
bag and marinate it overnight.

Before baking, discard all marinade.

Di Note: When I finally bought my house, I wanted to
have Thanksgiving here instead of at my mother’s
(which was traditional). I had NEVER done a turkey
before. I bought this HUGE creature and started to do
the marinade thing (my Mom’s recipe). Well, I don’t
have much counter space and this bird was a slipping
an’ sliding all over the place and I was laughing
hysterically. I was actually fighting this monster!
My Mom called to see how everything was going and all
she could hear was me cackeling. She jumped in her
car and came over and here I was, on the floor with
this damn bird in my lap and marinade all over me. It
was one of those moments…great marinade tho!

enough to strongly flavor the cake, but do not saturate the cake so much that
it collapses. Mix the cream cheese and sugar, beating until light and
spreadable. Spread over this half of the cake in a fairly thick layer. Set the
other half on top of this. Repeat the process. Put the cocoa powder in a wire
strainer and coat the top layer of cream cheese completely with cocoa.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving. May use favorite
liqueur or rum or brandy instead of kahlua.

MASA BISCUITS WITH HAM AND GREEN CHILE GRAVY

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Sauces Mexican

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
5 Long green chiles (Anaheims)
6 tb Unsalted butter
1 lb Firm, smoky ham, trimmed,
-cut into 1/4″ cubes
1/4 c Unbleached A-P flour
5 c Milk, 2% ok
1/2 ts Salt
8 Freshly baked Masa Biscuits,
-(recipe), split

In the open flame of a gas burner or under a
pre-heated broiler, roast the long green chiles,
turning them, until they are lightly but evenly
charred. Steam the chiles in a paper bag, or in a
bowl, covered with a plate, until cool. Rub away the
burned peel. Stem and seed the chiles and coarsely
chop them. There should be about 3/4 cup.

In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the
butter. Add the ham cubes and cook them, stirring
constantly, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the ham cubes and cook,
stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Slowly whisk the
milk into the ham mixture. Stir in the green chiles
and salt. Raise the heat to medium and bring the milk
mixture to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally and
scraping the bottom of the pan, until thickened into a
medium gravy, about 7 minutes. Adjust the seasoning.

Arrange the biscuits, split-sides up, on 8 plates.
Spoon the gravy over and around the, using it all.
Serve immediately.

NOTE: I tend to add a bit more “heat” by adding some
fresh jalepeno, cut into very fine julienne as garnish
to each person’s serving. Looks pretty, too. This is
also a good dish to make using smoked turkey (thigh)
instead of ham.
