Don’t leave all the cooking until Thanksgiving. This gravy recipe is so flavorful and easy. No giblets required.
In 15 minutes you can have delicious turkey gravy. Make it a couple of days ahead of time to make Thanksgiving day easier. I prefer this to making gravy with turkey drippings because it is less greasy and so flavorful. Make sure you use a good quality turkey or chicken bone broth. Adding a bouquet garni of thyme, rosemary, sage and bay leaf creates a delicious balance of herbs in the gravy. To make the bouquet garni you will wrap the herbs in a double layer of cheesecloth and tie with cooking twine. After the gravy has thickened, remove from heat and add the bouquet garni to the gravy. Let steep for 10 minutes and then remove from gravy and discard.
This gravy can also be made with chicken broth and used throughout the year, not just on Thanksgiving.

This turkey and bean chili will spice up your game day or any day of the week. Make it ahead and warm turkey chili up whenever you crave a warm satisfying meal. Serve it over tortilla chips and top wth cheddar cheese, sour cream and guacamole for delicious nachos.
Turkey chili is a great, simple dish that you can make ahead of time. The recipe comes together very easily and then you just let it simmer on the stove.The addition of two different kind of beans makes turkey chili more interesting and flavorful. I especially like to make this dish on Sunday afternoons when we are gathered around watching football. Chili always reminds me of Fall and cozy days at home.
You can adjust the seasonings to suit your level of spiciness. One thing to note is the type of chili powder you are using. Dark chili powder is smokier and uses dark colored peppers like ancho or chipotle. Light chili powder will be more mild. I like to use dark chili powder in this recipe because chili requires a depth of spiciness. If you only have light chili powder add an extra tablespoon to achieve more spice.
Turkey chili will keep for 5 days in the refrigerator or 2 months in the freezer. You can serve turkey chili with whole wheat or flour tortilla or over rice. I like to top turkey chili with fresh grated sharp cheddar cheese, avocado and sour cream. You can also add chopped cilantro if you like.

Quinoa is considered healthier than rice because it is a complete protein and full of fiber and vitamins. Quinoa has a tender bite to it and is a very versatile grain. Quinoa is also very easy to prepare and stores well in the refrigerator. Quinoa makes a great side and is also perfect tossed into arugula salad with some fresh feta cheese sprinkled on top. I make quinoa using chicken broth but vegetable broth is also perfect if you would like to keep the quinoa vegetarian.

Grilled or Broiled Lamb Chops served over a wonderful mixture of roasted broccolini and arugula with my special mint Chimichuri
This recipe comes together quickly and is absolutely delicious to serve any day in any season. If you have an outdoor grill you can absolutely throw the chops on the barbie, if not, an oven or stovetop grill works equally well.
Mint and lamb go very well together so I came up with a sauce that incorporates fresh mint with fresh parsley with garlic, parmesan, lemon and honey that is absolutely perfect. This type of chimichuri works equally well with fish, chicken and vegetables. My husband loves it so much that I alway make extra to keep in the refrigerator for a few days. The sauce will stay fresh for a week. Just give it a good shake or whisk before using.
A touch of honey adds depth and sweetness to this citrus mint and parsley sauce. Perfect with anything
The dish is a one plate dish. I roast the broccolini first and leave it at room temperature. When the lamb chops are roasting I toss the broccolini with arugula and put it on a serving plate. The lamb chops go on top followed by crumbled feta, sprinkled mint chimichuri and fresh lemon wedges. Enjoy!
