Garnished Adventures: Mini Thanksgiving

The other night I made a "Mini-Thanksgiving" dinner, using everyone's favorite dishes, and making them in less traditional ways. The end result was all the yummyness of Thanksgiving dinner, without all the hours of cooking!

First Dish: Cranberry Pineapple Sauce

The first step was to chop up the cranberries and pineapple in a food processor.

Then I heated the pineapple juice and sugar to a boil, and then added the chopped up cranberries for ten minutes on medium heat, followed by the chopped up pineapple for 1 minute. then I put it in the fridge to cool.

Second Dish: Rosemary Biscuits

I mixed 2 cups of Heart Smart Bisquick, parmesan cheese,a clove of garlic, and water. Meanwhile I sauteed another clove of garlic and rosemary. I spooned out the mix onto my baking sheet, and cooked them for ten minutes.

After the ten minutes were up I spooned the rosemary mixture and melted butter over each biscuit and cooked for an additional 5 minutes.

Third Dish: Corn Bread Stuffing Breaded Turkey

I initially wanted to use turkey cutlets for this dish, but could not find any at the store. Instead I found strips of turkey breast meat. This made the preparation a bit more difficult, but the end result was still delicious.

First I crushed up the corn bread stuffing, and then coated the turkey meat withthe stuffing. I then fried the turkey on the stove with olive oil.
