Question

Help answer this question below.

Every year I make a turkey dinner for my s/o and family. I'm a poor cook so everything is pretty bland. What can I do to make the following more tastey? Mashed potatoes, mashed carrots, mashed squash, mashed turnip. (as you can see I mash everything).

    okay here first thing season your food. Nothing wrong with marnating it over night this way it can seal the flavor deep within the food.

    1) for your vegetable try steaming your vegetables seals in the nutrients that are needed.

    2) for mashed potatoes add some fresh minced garlic, bacon, and a little cheese.

    3) Turkey my favorite. here's a good way to throw the family off. not sure hot much you all like cajun but it was something my family really enjoyed.

    1 cup of olive oil
    2 cloves of garlic
    1 1/2 tablespoon of Mrs. Dash Spicy Seasoning
    1 tsp of black pepper
    1 tsp of salt
    1/2 tsp of paprika
    1/2 cup spicy mustard
    1/3 cup of horseradish mustard

    Now your going to combine all these ingredients and get a meat injector. and inject this in to all places of the turkey take whats left and rub ove the turkey and let sit over night.

    Get a deep fryer and use peanut oil.
    and there you have it and trust me. my favorite line to say " it will be so good make you want to slap your mama" finger licking good.

    Now for my favorite. Greens. Get fresh Collard Green 2-3 lbs depending on how big your family is. i used about 4 lbs and it fed six with left overs. Soak in cold water to clean any dirt. make a cut along side the big end of the stem on both side take your index and thumb and pinch and pull up towards the other end. after you've done this take your green and roll the up like a log. cut them into quarter pieces dont have to be exact. in a big pot for every 1 lb of greens add a cupp of water.take a 1/2 cup of cidar vinegar, 2-3 hamhocks, 1 onion diced and 2 tblsp of virgin or vegetable oil and bring to a boil. before you put the greens in put in some franks or what ever hotsauce you have in about a 3 tblsp and once again at the half way point of cooking time which is 2 hrs at a slow simmer.
