We have a few things that are considered traditional but we always mange to shake things up and play with our old favorites.
This years menu was:
-BACON WRAPPED TURKEY BREAST
-BRUSSELS SPROUTS SAUTEED IN BACON AND GARLIC
-ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH GARLIC AND ROSEMARY
-GOOD OLD FASHIONED CORNBREAD
-DRESSING W/DRIED CRANBERRIES AND LAVENDER
-ORANGE CRANBERRY SAUCE
-CHOCOLATE CARAMEL MACADAMIA NUT PIE
Bacon wrapped turkey breast(stuffed with orange, rosemary, garlic, celery)
Star Fruit and onions were cooked around the turkey and towards the end I glazed it with orange juice and maple syrup.
It was very good and not at all salty.
A slight smokey flavor and not at all dry.

I did my own take on this recipe from Martha Stewart for a chocolate crust pie with a layer of chocolate then macadamia nut caramel, then an orange infused chocolate ganache topped with toasted coconut and a drizzle of white chocolate. If I keep this up I will be toothless by 50.This was the "lunch" John made for me today. 1/4 of a turkey and cheese sandwich. Yes... that was the actual presentation. But it was just what I needed.

Were the star fruit edible after the turkey was done?
Aloha James.
The starfruit were amazing after they were cooked. They actually retained their original flavor as well but had a slight smokey taste from the bacon.
We had so many fruit this season, I sliced them and froze them for future use. These were some of the frozen fruit.
such a good idea!
My god, you are my culinary hero! (tastefully checkered cape is in the mail...)
