Turkey, turkey, turkey. That’s all everyone talks about on Thanksgiving. The overrated food. The driest of all the meats. Makes me want to become a vegetarian. Not to mention the Turducken! Duck stuffed in chicken stuffed in turkey? A disaster waiting to happen. That’s right, Sandy. Your “innovative Thanksgiving meal” tasted harrowingly abominably detestable. Everybody was lying to you. The poor turkey was not atrociously murdered for you to go and make a meal that only you thought was delicious. Sorry for that rant.
Anyhoo, you know what is a Thanksgiving meal and won’t make your family and friends try to paste on a fake smile while gagging under their breaths? Apricot, sage, and sausage stuffed turkey. They will at least be able to make their fake smile seem genuine with this one. Delicious, dry turkey complemented with juicy, wet fruits, bits of meat that will add some extra dehydration to your supper, and some healthy herbs that could ruin your carb- and protein-filled bite with a bit of greenness. What’s not to like?
