With US Thanksgiving coming soon we thought it was time for a refresher on the celebration of Thanksgiving and the traditions around it. We wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and some moments to reflect on what you are grateful for.
Here are some interesting facts around the Thanksgiving holiday from the National Turkey Federation:
Eating turkey on Thanksgiving every year can get kind of old. To switch things up in the kitchen, but still keep the tradition of the Thanksgiving turkey, try making aturducken this year.
Echelon Foods invited me to try their Original Turducken for Thanksgiving. A completely ready-to-roast Turducken stuffed with Italian sausage? It was too intriguing to say no!
Happy Thanksgiving! We had 10 family members over for Canadian Thanksgiving dinner this year. Last year we roasted a turducken and we liked it so much we were thrilled when we were asked to try Echelon's new premium turducken roast with Italian sausage stuffing.
Thanksgiving weekend is often spent in pursuit of dinner; besides the shopping and table-setting, it’s often an all-day affair in the kitchen, with the cook rising before dawn to stuff and prep the bird, and then attend to the side dishes and pies that crowd countertops and tables.
The legions of turducken fans are growing by the day. Many have messaged us saying they will never go back to regular turkey at the main holiday meals - mainly, Thanksgiving and Christmas. However, we still hear from many people saying that Turducken is not for them and often the reason they give is just not true. Instead of heading into another holiday eating season defending the epic Echelon Foods Turducken, we thought we’d take a proactive approach and lay rest to some falsehoods. Doubters, ‘nay-sayers’, skeptics, and traditionalists take heed as we bust these common myths and misconceptions about the ultimate holiday feast – turducken:
Every so often an opportunity to try something new comes your way and you just have to say yes. That is how we ended up sitting around the table with friends, explaining to a two year old that a Turducken would probably say, “gobble-quack-a-doodle-doo!”
