My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the leftovers but in order to get leftovers, you need to have them for the first time – which is what we had for dinner tonight!
Check out my plate – Turkey, Gouda Mashed potatoes, Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Apples, and cranberry sauce. There was also stuffing and gravy both of which I am not really a fan of.
Both the mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts recipes were new – and both worthy of repeating. I will say, the Brussels sprouts were a little dry but I think it was because I didn’t add enough apple cider and olive oil to the pan. The mashed potatoes were out of this world – the gouda, bacon and scallions added texture and flavors that turned normal mashed potatoes into a special treat. We did lighten this recipe a bit by using reduced fat sour cream, and skim milk. We also used regular gouda cheese as opposed to smoked – I’m not a big fan of smokey flavors.
Over the next few days, you will definitely see some more Turkey – if you noticed, I didn’t eat that much. I’m saving it for turkey leftovers…the best part of Thanksgiving.
