Quoting Shawn Highfield to Jim Weller <=-
Normally do one at USA thanksgiving, and another at Christmas.
Plus we always make soup, and freeze some of the meat for
sammich.
Yellowknife has a severe Covid outbreak and we are in partial
lockdown so no entertaining. Roslind and I are allowed to visit her
disabled brother who is in a wheelchair but not have company at our
place. And as Boyd's caretakers we are the only family members who
can visit him in person. The others have to settle for virtual
visits.
So today we roasted a small (14 pound) turkey and made all the
traditional sides, but on a reduced scale. We made bacon stuffing,
mashed potatoes, gravy, buns, minted carrots, green beans with
thyme, wild cranbwerry sauce, and Roslind's famous sour cream
mushroom sauce. no pies or other desserts this year. Boyd got a
whole drumstick and a half breast along with four large portions of
everything else so he won't be doing his own cooking for a while.
I haven't posted Roslind's sauce for a few years so here it is
again:
MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
Title: Roslind's Mushrooms in Sour Cream Sauce
Categories: Side dish, Jw, Mushrooms, Dairy, Sauces
Yield: 1 batch
2 x 10 oz cans of mushroom stems
-and pieces, drained
2 tb Butter
1 md Onion; chopped fine
1 cl Garlic; minced
2 tb Flour
1 lb Tub of sour cream
1/2 c Canned mushroom juice
Salt
White pepper
Paprika
In a heavy saucepan, melt butter, fry onion and garlic until
fragrant and add drained mushrooms. As the mushrooms brown add
salt, pepper, paprika and flour. Add sour cream and mushroom juice
to the mushrooms and let sauce thicken slowly over low heat. Do
not let the sour cream boil or it may curdle. The resulting sauce
should be VERY thick.
A spoonful makes an excellent side dish for roast poultry with
stuffing and is a Christmas tradition at our home.
An original recipe by Roslind Minault.

MMMMM
It's even better with sauteed fresh mushrooms. The key is to
success is to use LOTS of paprika.
Cheers
Jim
... I didn't like the turkey but I did like the bread he ate.
