Traditional Thanksgiving in an untraditional way
Ingredients:
1 lb Ground turkey
3/4 cup dried stuffing
3/4 cup chicken or turkey stock
1/2 galla apple chopped very small
1 1/2 celery stocks chopped very small
1/2 cup sweet onion chopped very mall
poultry seasoning 1 tsp.
salt & pepper
1 egg
olive oil
Preheat oven to 400
Begin by setting aside your surfing and adding your stock to it. Let stuffing soak up the stock.
Combine all other ingredients except olive oil. Add your stuffing and mix together.
You can put the mixture into a bread pan to form a loaf, or you can form your own loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or some other nonstick baking thing (I'm so technical). Coat with olive oil and bake for 45 min- 1 hour depending on how your oven bakes.
To compliment the apples in the loaf you can make a delicious and easy Cider gravy!
Cider Gravy
On medium heat, melt 2 TB butter and then add 2 TB flour. Cook for one minute.
Then add 1 c. apple juice or cider, and 1 c. chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over the heat until it thickens. Pour over your turkey & stuffing meatloaf and serve everything with mashed potatoes. Delicious!
You don't have to save turkey for thanksgiving day. It is good any time of the year.
*Tip, ground turkey is an excellent subsitute for ground beef and it is so much healthier. When you season it with taco seasoning for example, you can't even tell the difference between it and beef.

Chicken Penne by Allie Dickson
Ingredients:
Chicken cut up (however much you want, about 1 - 1 1/2 breasts) and seasoned w/ poultry seasoning and salt and pepper.
olive oil
sweet onion
garlic
can of diced tomatoes
penne (pasta)
arugula (green leaves like spinach)
basil (fresh or dried)
Parmesan and mozzarella cheese
Begin by boiling water, once rolling add your penne.
While cooking penne heat a 10-12" frying pan to medium heat and add your olive oil, about 2-3 table spoons. Once oil is hot, add your chicken and brown on all sides. When it is about half way through cooking add some chopped onion ~ 1/2 cup and some grated garlic to the pan. Once chicken is done and onion is tender, add your can of diced tomatoes and let simmer for a few minutes.
By this point the penne should be done. Add about a 1/2 cup of the starchy water from the penne into your frying pan and let it simmer down. Then add your drained penne right into the skillet.
roughly chop up a large portion of arugula and add it to the penne. It will begin to whilt around the chicken penne as you stir it. Then add some basil and your grated mozzarella and Parmesan, however much you like.
Give it a good toss, and serve hot!
This recipe might sound complicated but it is actually really simple and fast. You can make this in under 25 minutes. Don't be afraid of trying something new like arugula, it is very delicious and healthy. * when you buy it, get it from broulims next to the spinach and basil, not albertons. Albertons will rip you off!
Also, a good tip when cooking with any meat is to always season it before you cook it! It will make your meals so much tastier. And, garlic is good in everything, use it!

Easy Cobbler
Easy Yummy Cobbler
1 can of pie filling (your choice: apple, cherry, peach, etc.)
1 pkg of white cake mix
1 cube butter
Put cake mix in bowl (do not make according to box).
Melt butter completely and pour over the cake mix. Mix together until cake mix is mostly wet.
Pour pie filling into 9x9 baking dish (the one half the size of the cake pan)
Place the cake mix and butter mixture over the filling. I like to run my spoon across the pan to mix the filling and cake mixture together a little.
Cook at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until the top is dark brown.
Really good with ice cream.

Tamale Pie (Casserole)
1 lb hamburger
1 med. onion, chopped
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic salt or fresh garlic and salt
1 tsp chili powder
1 cup picante salsa
1 can tomato sauce
1 can diced tomatoes (I like the ones with jalapenos or green chilis)
1 can whole kernel corn
1 can olives, sliced
corn tortillas
grated cheese
Brown hamburger in skillet. When almost done add onion and spices and saute together. Add the rest of the ingredients except tortillas and cheese, although if you like a lot of cheese you can put some in this mix as well. Mix and heat slightly. Layer corn tortillas and hamburger mixture in a casserole dish, starting with a layer of tortillas, then layer of mix, tortillas, mix, tortillas and then top with cheese, covering the tortillas completely so they don't dry out.
Cover with tin foil and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Uncover, and let bake another 5 minutes. Serve with sour cream.
*We like a lot of tortilla in ours, so I like to do a double thick layer of tortillas in the middle, and sometimes on the bottom as well.

1 Onion sliced into rings
3 Apples (whatever variety you like) sliced
Apple Juice (probably about a 1-2 cups-enough to cover bottom of crock pot an inch or so, but not completely cover pork chops)
1 TBS Mustard (or can use 1 tsp mustard powder)
Put pork, onions, apples and mustard into crock pot. Pour apple juice over the top. Cook on high 3-4 hours, low 6-8 hours or until pork is tender and falls apart easily.
This is a yummy way to make pork chops and you can just eat them as is with side dishes, or you can shred it and eat over rice, or make sandwiches. Enjoy!
