Re: Favorite Holiday Recipe
I love mashed potatoes. Could eat 'em every day, but of course you gotta have 'em on turkey day! Whay makes them really good is a little fresh garlic and a big dollop of sour cream.

Re: Favorite Holiday Recipe
Sage Mashed Potatoes
Oct 21, 2010
Easy
1. Cut 3 lbs. unskinned red potatoes into large chunks and remove the leaves from 6 sprigs of fresh sage, then cook the potatoes and sage stems in a large pot of boiling salted water until the potatoes are just tender, about 20 minutes. While the potatoes cook, mince the fresh sage leaves.
2. Drain the potatoes, return them to the pot, mash them coarsely, and set aside. Add the boiled sage stems and minced leaves to a medium saucepan along with 2 cups half-and-half, 12 tbsp. unsalted butter, and 8 cloves minced garlic and heat the mixture over medium heat just until it begins to boil; immediately remove from heat and allow to steep for 30 minutes.
3. Strain the mixture, pour it into the pot containing the mashed potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and stir until smooth.
4. Before serving, garnish the mashed potatoes with more chopped fresh sage leaves to add an herbal kick.

Re: Favorite Holiday Recipe
Stuffing Dumpling soup
Ingredients
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1-1/2 cups chopped fresh carrots
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
2 eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups cooked stuffing
2 cups cubed cooked turkey
1-1/2 cups cut fresh green beans
Directions
1. In a Dutch oven, saute mushrooms and onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add the broth, carrots and Creole seasoning. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 5-8 minutes or until carrots are tender.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk eggs and flour until smooth. Crumble stuffing over mixture; mix well. If necessary, add water, 1 teaspoon a time, until mixture holds its shape.
3. Add the turkey and green beans; return to a boil. Drop stuffing mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls onto simmering soup. Cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift the cover while simmering).
Editor's Note: The following spices may be substituted for 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning: 1/4 teaspoon each salt, garlic powder and paprika; and a pinch each of dried thyme, ground cumin and cayenne pepper.
