Beach Camping Area Holiday Recipes!
Peter Gagne • November 22, 2023
Below are some ideas for dishes to cook, share, and eat this Thanksgiving!
- Side Dish: Cranberry Jalapeno Dip!
- Always willing to go out on a limb, this cranberry sauce is reminiscent of the Beach Camping Area's salsa and sauces you can find in our office. Plus, the heat of the jalapeno is a great way to cut through the savory-ness of the meal!
- Appetizer: Pigs in a Blanket Wreath!
- Forget how cute the wreath part is, this appetizer recipe is reminiscent of roasting hot dogs around the fire; and who can hate on a hot dog...at a party, or ever?! Plus - if there's an errant hot dog, Teak is sure to find it!
- Side Dish: Old Fashioned Scallop Corn!
- Pete is a sucker for anything nostalgic, and this casserole is a real throwback to the "good-ole-days!"
- Leftovers: Turkey Chili!
- Ingredients: Turkey carcass, 1 can chickpeas, black beans, and kidney beans, 1 15 oz can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 1 onion, 3 carrots, 2 1/2 tablespoons chili powder, 2 tablespoons ground cumin, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, leftover stuffing, olive oil.
- Instructions: First, make your stock. quickly sautee onions, carrots, and celery in a med. hot pan and 2 tablespoons of oil. Once softened, place leftover turkey carcass in the a pot and cover with water. Let boil for up to 4 hours.
- Remove turkey from water, and pick off any remaining meat. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of stock. Freeze the rest.
- In a separate pan over med. heat, sauté onion and carrots for five minutes. Add the spices, and stir together.
- Add the broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), drained beans, and tomato sauce. Add in the meat from the turkey. Stir well.
- Bring the liquid to a low boil. Then, reduce the heat (low to medium-low) to gently simmer the chili, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Let the chili rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. While the chili is cooling, tale a second pan and heat it over med. high heat. Take your left over stuffing, and form 4 small patties - about the size of your palm. Once the oil is hot, sear your stuffing patties until golden brown on each side. Use them to dip into your chili!
