I especially loved the mushrooms, onions and cauliflower. Fried turkey has a unique texture from roasted turkey - I think I prefer roasted. It was a really nice get together. Hush puppies will be a great side dish for fried turkey!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307035157000793203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10129853.post-91331656191634220042007-11-18T19:09:00.000-05:002007-11-18T19:09:00.000-05:00Yum!

Since I don't like gravy much I was just going to go a totally lame route and saute up an onion in butter, add some flour and use canned chicken broth. Maybe add a few mushrooms and a little soy for that meaty umami flavor? I think the only one who will really eat it is my husband and his attention is likely to be focused on the stuffing...Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03113130840039776447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10129853.post-77775614834578522702007-11-18T17:14:00.000-05:002007-11-18T17:14:00.000-05:00We're deep frying, too.

I'm looking at roasting some turkey legs with vegetables and dumping that in.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03253985781655317150noreply@blogger.com
