In this episode of Farmhouse Rules, host Nancy Fuller is preparing for her family's annual Thanksgiving dinner. As she gathers all of her ingredients, she explains that she believes in using fresh, local ingredients whenever possible.
Nancy starts off by making a maple-brined turkey. She explains that the maple syrup not only adds flavor but also helps to tenderize the meat. She then stuffs the turkey with a traditional stuffing made with sage, apples, and onions.
Next, Nancy makes a roasted root vegetable dish. She uses a variety of vegetables such as parsnips, turnips, and carrots, and roasts them in the oven with olive oil and salt until they're tender and caramelized.
For a little bit of sweetness, Nancy makes a cranberry sauce using fresh cranberries and oranges. She explains that the acidity of the oranges helps to balance out the sweetness of the cranberries.
Nancy then makes a green bean casserole, but with a twist. She uses fresh green beans instead of canned, and makes her own cream of mushroom soup instead of using a canned version. She tops the casserole with crispy fried onions.
To round out the meal, Nancy makes a mashed potato casserole. She mixes mashed potatoes with sour cream, cream cheese, and chives, and tops it with bread crumbs before baking it in the oven.
Finally, it's time for dessert. Nancy makes a pumpkin pie using fresh pumpkin puree. She explains that using fresh pumpkin makes a huge difference in the flavor. She also makes an apple cranberry crisp using apples from her own orchard.
With everything finished, it's time to sit down and enjoy the Thanksgiving feast with family and friends. Nancy gives thanks for all of the blessings in her life and encourages everyone to take a moment to reflect about what they're thankful for.
Throughout the episode, Nancy shares stories about her own family and their traditions. She talks about how her great-grandmother used to make the best turkey stuffing and how her father always carved the turkey at Thanksgiving.
Overall, Farmhouse Thanksgiving is a heartwarming episode that celebrates family, tradition, and, of course, delicious food. Whether you're looking for some new Thanksgiving recipes or just want to enjoy a cozy evening at home, this episode is definitely worth watching.
