I found two more recipes for Thanksgiving dinner, this should complete the menu.
Herb Roast Chicken
1 roasting chicken (about 4 lbs.)
1 (12-ounce) package herbed bread stuffing
1 cup water
3 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, chopped
1/4 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed
2 ounces prosciutto or baked ham, cubed
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons dried sage
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
2 tablespoons each heavy cream and lemon juice
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place roasting rack in large roasting pan. Rinse chicken; pat dry.
In large bowl, toss stuffing with 1 cup water. In large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, spinach, prosciutto, garlic, sage and rosemary to skillet; saute' until tender about 5 minutes.
Add spinach mixture to stuffing. Stir in heavy cream and lemon juice; mix well.
Spoon stuffing loosely into chicken cavity, filling about 3/4 full. fold skin over openings and close with metal skewers. Tuck wings under chicken. Place on roasting rack.
Roast chicken until an instant-read meat thermometer, inserted in the thigh, not touching bone, registers 180 degrees and chicken is golden, about 1 hour 45 minutes.
Green Bean Casserole
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
3 to 4 teaspoons dry ranch-style salad dressing mix
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 1'/4 pounds fresh green beans, cooked until crisp-tender
1 cup fresh bread crumbs toasted
To make white sauce, melt butter over low heat. Stir in flour; cook 1-2 minutes, stiring constantly. Using wire whisk, stir in milk, bring to a boil. cook, whisking constantly, 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in dressing mix and white pepper, set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, spray skillet with nonstick cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until tender. Remove half of onion mixture, set aside.
Add mushrooms to onion mixture remaining in skillet and cook about 5 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Combine mushroom mixture, green beans and white sauce in 1 1/2 quart casserole. Combine bread crumbs with reserved onion mixture, sprinkle over casserole. Bake, uncovered, until heated through, about 20-30 minutes.
