Guest guest Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Hello! I am pretty new to the diet and am looking for thanksgiving information. I love the tips in the special section on the pecanbread site about thanksgiving recipes, but I'm wondering about what kind of turkey to buy...what brand is free of all illegals?? And I'm wondering if any of you have special recipes or tips for me to make our first scd thanksgiving special. I am also including a yummy meatball recipe that I made for my family: honey/garlic meatballs roll about 1 lb of hamburger meat into small balls and place in a slightly oiled skillet (I prefer stainless, but you have to keep stirring them around to keep the balls from crumbling and sticking) when the balls begin to brown on all sides, add 1 clove of pressed garlic into the bottom of the pan to saute in the juices...about 2 minutes. (ginger would also be yummy in addition to the garlic) add about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of honey and stir the meatballs and sauce constantly to flavor all the meatballs with garlic and honey. simmer all together until the honey sort of crystalizes on the meatballs and smells delicious. Serve with spaghetti squash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 I was at Albertson's today, and Butterball makes a 'young and fresh' turkey that is not frozen - I saw no additives at all - the label says minimally processed, not basted, and in a 5% retained water solution but no starch or sugar like I saw in the frozen turkeys. So, if anyone knows otherwise, this appears to be a legal turkey and would probably be readily availble at any grocery store. Robbie Re: thanksgiving... Many stores offer fresh turkeys for Thanskgiving, but I would start to look right away because many of them actually take ORDERS for them. But if you call around you might find a place where you can still get one. Some stores like Whole Foods sell turkey breasts with no additives. So, if you like the breast meat, you could buy two of those and make them rather than making a whole turkey (if you can't find one).
