Thanksgiving Dinner

Thanksgiving is also my favorite holiday of the year. Giving thanks to God and being happy with all we are blessed with. Having a wonderful meal with family and friends and not worrying about presents or anything else really. How is that not awesome? It’s a shame it only happens once a year, to be honest.

This year we made both a Niman Ranch Applewood Smoked Spiral Ham and a Perdue Whole Turkey for Thanksgiving! Everything we order from PerdueFarms.com is always very good and we really enjoy cooking with it. Always high quality from famers that treat their animals the way we want them to be treated…with love and respect! It’s a classic company with a great reputation for reason. Great food and great value!

As per usual, we made a pretty huge Thanksgiving dinner this year. It’s something we always do and it’s something we wanted to continue to do even if this year was WAY smaller than past “normal” years. We had to go all out, Thanksgiving dinner is pretty much my favorite meal of the year.

We made the ham, the turkey, and all the trimmings I love. From mashed potatoes to string bean casserole to sweet potato casserole, we did it all! We made a wonderful meal, and have a ton of leftovers.

Chicken & Ham Minestrone Soup

The next day, the question was what do we do with all these Thanksgiving leftovers? While a cold turkey sandwich on toast with mustard is a favorite of mine, there’s something to be said about making something entirely new, warm, and soothing with all those Thanksgiving leftovers.

One dish I made this year was a really nice Chicken and Ham Minestrone Soup. It’s a very bright, warm, hearty, and comforting dish where you can include so many of your leftovers. Use your meat, in this case ham and turkey, and use your veggies, too. Through in some starch like beans, potatoes, or noodles to make the soup a complete and well rounded meal. It’s dinner in a bowl and it’s a great use of your leftovers.

Let’s take a look at this Ninja Foodi soup recipe! You will be pretty impressed not only with the overall heartiness and taste of the soup, but with the amazing depth of flavor in the broth. I really was amazed that such a flavor could be achieved in such little time in the pressure cooker.

Prep Time: Less than 10 minutes

Cook Time: Approximately 15 minutes.

Ingredients

  1. 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  2. 1 medium yellow onion, peeled, chopped
  3. 2 stalks celery, chopped
  4. 4 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced thin
  5. 2 cups roasted carrots, peeled, chopped
  6. 2 cups roasted brussels sprouts

  13. 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  14. 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed, drained
  15. 2 1/2 cups water
  16. 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  17. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish

That’s it. Let me know what you think and how it came out. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Best Turkey to Buy for Christmas

The Perdue turkey is a plump, juicy and premium whole bird sourced from small family farmers (see below for more), who raise turkeys in step with all Perdue animal welfare guidelines. You can trust that turkeys are raised without the use of antibiotics, hormones or steroids and fed an all-veggie diet with no animal by-products. The birds are also hatched, raised and harvested in the USA…because that’s what Perdue is all about.

Choose the 10- to 16-pound bird to feed 10 to 12 friends and family members or the 16- to 20-lb. bird to feed a gathering of 12 to 16. Moist, juicy, and always a good idea for any holiday celebration!

Niman Ranch ham

Best Spiral Ham to Buy for Christmas

Let me just tell you about the most perfect spiral ham, just about anywhere. The Niman Ranch (always fantastic) Applewood Smoked Spiral Ham is a  whole muscle cured ham is slow smoked a over real applewood for an authentic smoky flavor. This 8-pound bone-in spiral ham is sure to impress during the holiday season but also ideal for breakfast, lunch or dinner for every day meals.

It’s simple to prepare as well. Just add the wonderful spiced sweet glaze and off you go. It’s just that easy (give yourself approximately 3 hours or so) and the results are perfect. I mean, look at that cut, the meat, and that crispy glazed crust. The meat was so flavorful, just excellent. This is an absolute must this coming Thanksgiving and Christmas season! A must!! I’m telling you, this ham is the jam.

Hi Bill,
I’m not from the US, so the concept of Thanksgiving as a bit foreign to me. However, the concept of making wonderful tasty soups is not. And reading your post made me wish to make one. It won’t be made from Thanksgiving leftovers, but hey, I have to work with what I have and where I am at the moment.
No use complaining about it
Bon Appetit! 🙂
