That sounds gorgeous! Wish we had Thanksgiving over here 

It's just going to be Jim and I this year.  Jim went out and ordered a "heritage turkey,"  any one of an old breed that has not been hybridized to have a breast so big that it can hardly stand and has been raised naturally, to support the local slow food movement here.  I've wanted to try one now for the longest time but they are so expensive.  It's a slurge, I know, but it's for a good cause.

Thanks for this thread. Keep the recipes / ideas coming, as some of us will be doing a thanksgiving theme on the Weekly Cooking Challenge on the forums later in the month. Alot of us are from countries that do not partake in thanksgiving, so we need all the help we can get to make a thanksgiving dish.

Cranberry Relish

Fresh Cranberries
Blood Orange Juice
Light Brown Sugar
Cinnamon Stick

Season the berries with a small amount of blood orange juice, brown sugar to taste and cinnamon stick, boil until the berries break apart and the liquid forms a thin syrup.

Great thread!

Drink as a starter: Warm apple drink with vanilla vodka (This is a drink recipe made by a Swedish chef called Tina Nordström. And - the drink is awsome! Try it...)

1000 ml of apple juice
3 tbsp honey
5 cloves
1 vanilla pod
2 cinnamon sticks
300-400 ml vanilla vodka

Heat up the juice in a sauce pan together with the honey and spices. Let it stand for about 10 minutes before you add the vodka. Let it simmer slowly - don't let it boil! If you want a stronger drink, just add more vodka. And if you want an alcoholfree drink - just exclude the vodka.

Menu:
Roast turkey
Ovenbaked pumpkin with red chillies
Boiled wild rice
Brussel sprouts with ginger, lime and hazelnuts sprinkled on top
Cranberry Chutney

Apple pie with vanilla sauce as dessert

I posted the recipe for cranberry chutney on Foodwise the other day, and it is a perfect chutney to turkey.
