A mini Thanksgiving feast

Made October 22nd

By far the best dinner we have made was a mini Thanksgiving feast; Stuffed Turkey Rolls with Cranberry Glaze. We originally tried to make the dinner on Monday night but discovered that we were missing a key ingredient, the stuffing. So we realized it soon into making it we stopped with only doing a little prep. We called our friend who lives in our apartment complex and joined them for a delicious meal of Tilapia and grilled onions.

We resumed cooking the dinner on Wednesday night. We made the stuffing which consisted of grilled apples, garlic, onion stuffing mix and chicken broth. We then placed the stuffing on the turkey cutlets and rolled them up jellyroll style.

We cooked them in a skillet. We also made a cranberry glaze sauce, wild rice and Roman green bean, which are green beans with bacon and pine nuts. Brian is not a fan of vegetables so this is one way he will eat something green plus it is delicious.

We found the trickiest part of this dinner was picking which pot to cook everything in. The stuffing needed a no-stick skillet as well as the turkey. We only have one. We reused it. The green beans and the rice needed a medium size sauce pan and we only have one. We used a sauté pan for the beans. The cranberry glaze we could cook in our tiny sauce pan. After figuring out which pan to use for what dish when then realized we only had two big burners and we needed three. After playing pan and burner shuffle we ended up with a great meal.

I am actually not a huge fan Thanksgiving food but I think I have to change my change my tune after this meal.
