1/2 cup bread crumbs 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves 1/4 cup chopped garlic and herb marinated sun-dried tomatoes (buy packaged sun dried tomatoes add 1 clove of garlic minced, and 2 tbs of lemon juice and mix together and refrigerate) 2 garlic cloves minced 2 large eggs lightly beaten 1/4 cup olive oil 1 medium size tomato 1/2 cup feta cheese 1 tsp salt 1 tsp black pepper 1 lb ground turkey Pre-heat oven to 350 Spray a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan and heat in the oven In a large bowl stir together bread crumbs, parsley, sun dried tomatoes garlic, eggs, olive oil, feta, salt, and pepper. Then add turkey and gently stir to combine - do not be careful to not over mix/stir the meat too much. Take mixture and put it into the preheated pan and top with sliced tomato. Bake for 45 minutes (internal temperature around 160 degrees)

8 to 10 medium to large sweet potatoes 16 oz bag of marshmallows 1/4 pound of butter 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup milk place the sweet potatoes in a large pot and bring the water to a boil. Continue to low boil until the sweet potatoes are soft - about 45 minutes. Take the sweet potatoes and peel the skin off the potatoes and return to the pot. Mash the sweet potatoes with the butter and add milk as you mash until smooth. Add more/less milk as needed to make the mixture smooth. Place into a pre-greased cassarole dish and cover the top of the potatoes with brown sugar and marshmallows. Cover the casserole and bake for an hour at 350. Fifteen minutes before the end of the cooking time, uncover the dish and finish cooking. Constantly monitor the dish because the marshmallows can quickly burn. Allow to sit for 15 minutes then serve.

The key to chocolate cream pie is this pudding mix.  It is a better quality and smoother than any other.  And the use of milk, whole milk, in the mixture. Two pie shells Three boxes of pudding mix Milk as required Pre-Cook the pie shells You must constantly stir the pudding mix -- if not it will stick te the bottom and that's an awful mess believe me. As soon as the pudding mix is ready, pour immediately into the pie shells and the extra into small dessert dishes.  Chill in the refrigerator before serving topped with whipped cream.  Try real whipped cream.

Despite the hype about Butterball Turkey, I've really only been disappointed by one turkey I cooked over the years.  It was a fresh turkey and for whatever reason just did not taste the same.  Anyway, I use everything on the turkey - nuts to assholes it is either eaten at the table, in the gravy, or in the soup. So here goes. Defrost the bastard in the refrigerator at least four full days before Thanksgiving morning.  Some take forever for some reason but it is better to be safe than sorry.  Place the turkey into the sink and throw out the instructions and that little bag of twine they give you -- for rookies.  Slap that puppy a few times -- go ahead -- feels kinds good!  Run cold water through the body making sure as you run the water through you reach in the main cavity and take out the neck (save that for the brother-in-law on Christmas Vacation) and the gizzards and place them in a pot of water on medium warm on the stove in the back and forget them for...

The only difference in the preparation of this stuffing is one uses a non-wheat based bread for those with Ciliac's disease and the other uses Pepperidge Farms Original Herb Stuffing Mix So for the non-wheat based stuffing it is important to use a loaf of glucose free bread - sold in many stores now, and it is best if you can make the bread yourself.  Make it a week in advance, cut the bread into slices and the slices into cubes and let them sit-out and become stale. The amount of stuffing is impossible to gage because of unknown factors:  how many people are eating/how big is the turkey/how much do you like stuffing? Here's what I have always used: 2 and 1/2 bags of stuffing 4 eggs 3/4 lb of butter = 3 sticks garlic salt two small/medium onions 2 cloves garlic thyme poultry seasoning 1 carton of chicken broth 1 can of chicken broth 4 stalks of celery Fennel seeds Melt the butter in a large frying pan Chop up the onion and add to the pan Chop up the celery and add to the pan C...
