but I was channel flipping and he had a chef who prepared turkey stuffing with chickpeas instead of bread and folks raved about it.
Its gluten free.
Has anyone tried this?

I like chickpeas but they do not belong in stuffing.
But I'm sure I'd eat it anyway if it was served to me... :D

Or do you oppose all fallish foods?
Post by: ZiggyStardust on November 18, 2016, 08:21:03 PM
Ziggy-- by "traditional" do you mean turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes (with marshmallows), green bean casserole with tinned onions and condensed cream of mushroom soup, Stouffers stuffing, and tinned cranberry sauce?Yeah, I'm no lover of turkey. Cranberry isn't liked by anyone, on either side. Green bean casserole is teh glop :urgh:
Or do you oppose all fallish foods?
I love sweet potatoes, just cooked in their skin, but the whole marshmallow thing is barf-worthy (my fam doesn't go in for that).
Mashed potatoes and stuffing are okay, but a little goes a long way (my mom's stuffing was always delicious; Stouffers is...reconstituted cardboard, to my own palate).
I preferred the good old days when my husband and I could spend the day alone and just make a pizza or something. This year there's too much family all around :panic:

I'm co-hosting with my dad this year. He's doing appetizers, desserts, bread (he owns a bakery so kind of cheating), and the bird. It would seem that NO ONE really likes turkey but tradition persists. I do not care because I do not eat meat.
I'll be making roasted brussles sprouts, roasted squash, sweet potatoes (I top mine with hazelnuts and brown sugar-- a nod to tradition), mashed potatoes, traditional stuffing but good bread, maybe some sort of kale salad, and maybe a risotto.
But, yes, I agree with you. Many years I'd do a potluck dinner party with friends and then my little fam of 3 would spend the day in the mountains (snowboarding or hiking depending on the weather). But BF is not down with that. His fam insists on the whole giant celebration. Usually DAYS of celebration. It makes me itchy. But I suck it up for his benefit. Last year we left the country and spent the long weekend in a remote corner of british Columbia. It was perfection. We might do the same next year. We shall see.

I love thanksgiving!
Me too! Even when DH and I go to another house, I always cook a full T-day meal just for us either the day before or after. We have our traditional favorites but in the past few years we opt for duck rather than turkey. Same this year. Small duck is thawing already in the fridge!

The best part about Thanksgiving is leftovers for days. I hate going to someone else's house and having no leftovers!
Duck is a great idea. Yum!

Chickpeas in stuffing wouldn't be too bad, as long as there weren't a lot.
Chickpeas as stuffing wouldn't be very good. They're heavy, and it would be like eating something as solid as baked beans.
Nah, I'd just say I was allergic, and pass on the solid chickpea stuffing.

Homemade rolls are where it's at! My siblings and I decided that they are the most important part of thanksgiving dinner. Followed closely by pomegranate salad, chocolate dream pie, and mashed potatoes. Turkey is only important for sandwiches.
With all that said, I think kenyan and I are skipping actual thanksgiving in favor of a mashed potato bar at home alone. Friday we will get together with my aunts and uncles for Pie Meal, which is pizza, turkey pot pie or soup, and like ten different kinds of pie.

We don't eat stuffing, we eat dressing. And since I'm from the south it has to be cornbread dressing. Do people actually stuff the turkey with the stuffing? I couldn't eat anything that was cooked in a bird cavity.
Post by: The Turtle Whisperer on November 19, 2016, 06:12:26 AM
Yeah. I gotta go with a basic wheat, because yum. But also nice ciabatta to jazz it up and add some crunch.... hmmm.
Dark rye should get some love. :)
I am a fan of Thanksgiving as well. Grew up with tons of great Southern cooks in the family. We didn't eat commercially canned anything.

Not a fan of bird stuffing either... One food should not dictate the cooking time of another. You have to dry the bird to dust to get the stuffing cooked.
And hell yes on the CB dressing.

Last year we had a family member and her family come eat with us. I always make homemade cranberry sauce. She wouldn't eat it. She said she's so used to the canned kind that that's all she likes. I asked her what if I make it in the shape of a tin can. :D

I used to pack down the stuffing in the dish, but I have found that if I add it loosely then it doesn't get soggy and there are lots of browned crunchy bits ...which we love.

And you can pry my sweet potato marshmallow casserole out of my cold, dead hands. If I'm actually dead, you can also pry any remaining contents of that stuff out of my stomach too, depending on time of death after ingestion. But that would just be mean.
Post by: DickWadzinski on November 20, 2016, 09:59:53 AM
Chickpeas in stuffing sounds interesting but I'd prefer garbanzo beans. ;) We do stuffing with chestnuts and onions, some in the bird, some out. That way we have wet stuffing for the meat eaters and dry stuffing for the vegetergenarians.

One of our thnxgvng staples my DW invented twenty years ago. It's boiled and mashed winter squash placed in a casserole dish with fresh boiled cranberries over it, then covered with crushed pecans and baked. You get a mix of sweet and sour and crunchy in one dish. She came up with it when we were invited to a friend's house, told to bring a dish and had almost nothing in the cupboard. So she whipped up a masterpiece.
Ooh this sounds good...

Chickpeas are to stuffing as nuts are to brownies. In other words, there is no place for either in their respective dishes. :P

My now-ex-SIL made some sort of stuffing with apples and things one year (vegetarian) and it was REALLY GOOD.
I don't really care about normal stuffing. It's a vehicle for gravy.
