Recipes of the Week: Thanksgiving Extravaganza
Here’s a post I’ve been looking forward to for a few weeks- the one dedicated to my favorite holiday. A full day dedicated to family and feasting is a dream come true in my book. That being said, for as many different types of families to be represented tomorrow, there about as many iterations of the traditional Thanksgiving meal.
Lucky for all of us, mushrooms have a place on the table no matter where you end up. A few of a favorite mushroom masterpieces that even a turkey could love below:
A Mini Vegan Pot Pie with Mushroom Gravy from Vegan Dad.
Gluten Free Vegetarian Thanksgiving with more savory mushroom gravy from Wheatless and Meatless (by way of The Examiner).
A colorful side dish for the table from A Smart Mouth. Crisp green peas with sauteed cremini mushrooms and mint make for a great twist on a classic combo.
Mushrooms IN the turkey by way of some beautiful stuffing from Recipe Girl. Don’t forget to try out the mushroom dressing recipe from Umami Girl we featured last week for a different take!
Another glorious combination- roasted carrots with mushrooms from Kalyn’s Kitchen. Look at the color here and tell that doesn’t just shout “feast!” to you.
This one is for the Sunday after Thanksgiving. You’ve exhausted your leftovers (or you’re just tired of eating them). You need something light, with a totally different flavor profile. Enter The Wednesday Chef with her take on Mark Bittman’s Bok Choy with Shiitakes and Oyster Sauce. No fuss and delicious- perfect way to recover from a few days of dishes and gluttony.
Forgive me for one “mushy” moment when I say thanks in honor of Thanksgiving. The whole team at the Mushroom Council is grateful for you guys. Enjoy your holidays!
