      2021 Turkey-Free Feast

      Happy feasting!

      Here are our recommendations on how best to enjoy your Turkey-Free Feast.

      First, CLICK HERE for directions on how to prepare your one pound or stuffed turkey, and you'll also see a recipe for additional stuffing and for gravy.

      This year, we included our favorite Kelly's Croutons in the feast, and they have a delicious recipe for making Sourdough Stuffing with the croutons.

      Brussels Sprouts with Portuguese Sausage

      Our Portuguese sausage is a fun additional to a variety of dishes, like stuffing or mashed potatoes. We're sharing a recipe for pairing them with Brussels sprouts.

      Ingredients

      • 1 Large Red Onion (thinly sliced)
      • 8 Cloves Garlic (minced)
      • 8 Tablespoons Neutral Oil (such as sunflower or canola - divided in half)
      • 2 lbs Brussels Sprouts (cut in half lengthwise)
      • 2 Tbsp Smoked Paprika
      • 13 oz Portuguese Sausage (quartered and sliced)
      • 3 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
      • Salt and Pepper to Taste

      Directions

      Preheat a conventional oven to 400º F. 

      In a large sauté pan/skillet heat ½ of the oil, garlic and onion over medium heat. Sauté for 5-10 minutes until onion and garlic start to become translucent and slightly brown. 

      Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, toss Brussels sprouts in the remaining half of oil. Sprinkle them with smoked paprika and a slight amount of salt. Spread onto a baking sheet, cut-side down and bake for 20-25 minutes until thoroughly browned, saving your bowl for a later step.

      In the skillet with onions and garlic that is working on the stove, add sliced sausage and continue to sauté for 10-15 minutes until Portuguese sausage is crisp on the edges and the onions and garlic are browned. Remove mixture from stove and set aside. 

      Once both Brussels sprouts are roasted and the sausage is browned and crisp, add both sausage mixture and Brussels sprouts to the mixing bowl that you set aside earlier. Stir to combine. Lightly drizzle the veggies with red wine vinegar and season with salt and pepper.

      Charcuterie Board

      The fig brie and olive havarti are perfect for a plant-based charcuterie board. Add crackers or sliced baguette, fruits, and veggies, along with your favorite vegan meats.

      Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Dandies Marshmallows

      • 1 pound sweet potatoes (3-4 medium)
      • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
      • 2 teapoons Kosher salt
      • 1 tablespoon fresh ground pepper
      • 2 tablespoons vegan butter
      • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
      • 1/4 cup fresh rosemary (minced)
      • 10 ounce bag mini Dandies Marshmallows

      Preheat oven to 400º F. Wash sweet potatoes and cut into ½ inch chunks. Toss in a large bowl with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast sweet potatoes on a baking sheet for 25 - 30 minutes until potatoes are slightly browned and soft enough to pierce with a fork.

      While the sweet potatoes are roasting, melt butter in a small saucepan and whisk in brown sugar and minced rosemary. Heat over medium heat until sugar has dissolved into a clear glaze. Remove from heat.

      Once sweet potatoes are done roasting, partially mash potatoes with a fork or potato masher. Leave as many chunks as desired. Add the brown sugar rosemary glaze and stir slightly. Transfer this mixture to a greased 9 X 9 or similar size casserole dish or cake pan. Top with marshmallows and bake, uncovered for 10 - 15 minutes until marshmallows are golden brown and bubbly. Garnish with more minced fresh rosemary. Serves 3-4 people.
