according to miss kitty, garlic, onion, green pepper. see post 98 on what's on your thanksgiving menu, in the lounge.
NO! The Cajun Trinity is onions, green pepper, and celery. I just used it in Paul Prudhomme's chili recipe.

I'll be working on getting our Thanksgiving menu into one document. We're pretty old school with it. Every time I try to do something upscale (like homemade cranberry sauce), the family wants the old stuff. And at our house, upscale is king (although on nights I don't have time to grocery shop and cook, we eat junk :blush: ).

Upscale for me is buying Heinz Ketchup instead of the "store" brand. :funn: Seriously.

My mistake....I said Trinity, but somewhere corrected myself. In the dressing, I only use celery and green onions. The Trinity is onions, celery and green peppers. found it...

bake cornbread and crumble in bowl
add cooked wild rice
add Trinity that has been sauteed in butter (actually just green onions and celery, no green pepper)
add turkey neck meat that has been simmered in water, onion, celery
use stock from above to moisten
add poultry seasoning, salt and pepper to taste
put in casserole dish and heat it up when ready
serve with good ol' turkey pan gravy (no giblets for me)

See, I Can cook!!!

BTW...maybe I shouldn't cook. Or type recipes.

You know, I'm glad to hear this because I didn't think you were supposed to use green pepper in dressing.

BTW the reason for the redundant beans on the menu is that the guys don't like the bean casserole (which the girls adore), but they want beans instead of another green vegetable. The colors on the plate are appealing to the eye -- you've got all of the beige/tan/brown/white of the turkey/dressing/gravy/rolls/rice, the green in the beans, and the red in the tomato pie. And the fat grams pasted on my butt. :funn: :rotfl: :rotfl:

BR, I made several of these wonderful recipes last year. Everyone loved the cherry pie and it was so incredibly easy! And the garlic-lemon green beans are delicious.

I have a question tho. For the cornbread, you say to use 4 pkgs. of cornbread mix. What kind? I've always used the recipe on the corn meal container. Is there something better? (And I bet whatever it is, it won't be sold up here in our stores.)
