Healthy Recipes on the eve of Thanksgiving...does this sound unusual plus uninteresting?
When we think of high caloric recipes for instance stuffed turkey, rich creamy sauce, the buttered mashed potatoes and also pumpkin pies, then the word healthy does not seems to be a perfect adjective to be used. So why not experiment with some unusual recipe which is healthy as well as tasty?
In my family, Thanksgiving Day is a very favorable day and we celebrate it in a remarkable way by welcoming our near and dear ones for the dinner. So for this Thanksgiving Day special, I have a few ideas. I love testing with various ingredients along with flavors. Don't worry.nothing much I am going to do.just effortless modifications to the usual Thanksgiving meals.
Here are given various adjustments which I did in the usual Thanksgiving Day menu:
Turkey: turkey is a delicacy and can become the attractive menu of your holiday meal or any other celebration for example Thanksgiving Day. Turkey is a really lean animal plus contains less fat. But when you basted it in butter, it becomes high caloric and fatty food. So what Idid here, instead of butter, I used olive oils and baked it. With this wholesome adjustments, i made the turkey more delicious and healthy too.
Bread: in general we use white flour for making bread. But I preferred to prepare with wheat flour and thus served the bread with baked turkey.
Good Gravy: you know gravy is one of the main culprits on the dinner table. Instead of using turkey drippings, i used the vegetable oil while making the gravy. You can also make low-fat broth-based gravy or vegeterian gravy instead.
Dessert: dessert is the last but not the least course of the meal. Instead of preparing cheesecakes and various kinds of pieswhich are most often loaded with creams, nuts as well as caramel, I thought of serving fresh cut fruits in a bowl.
Another variation I did in my Thanksgiving dinner menu is the utilization of leftover ham. I made Ham and Swiss Rosti. Rosti is actually a Swiss potato pancake which can be served as a side dish but I added ham and thus make it into an easy and mouth-watering dinner menu. You can actually enjoy the dish with steamed asparagus plus applesauce on the side.
This year it was not very difficult for me to create some new ideas in my Thanksgiving menu. I just experimented with some changes and it was a hit. Go ahead and try your own invented ideas. This could be the way to impress your family and friends..
