Thanksgiving 2020 is now history. For most of us, it was very different. More intimate, scaled down, and possibly quieter (unless grandchildren were involved). Leftovers haven’t changed much, there are still a lot of them because even if the gathering was smaller, the recipes were not. Several mornings ago, I used my two favorite parts of the meal for a breakfast creation. I have christened it Stuffing Benedict and it is a squint eyed reimagining of the classic Benedict.
It is really simple. Baked Stuffing Patties are topped with a fried egg and drizzled with gravy. That’s it in a nutshell, if you’ve got stuffing and gravy leftover you can make this. What I would like to share are the recipes that I used. The stuffing was my Cali-Itali. Sourdough bread, Italian Sausage, and Artichoke Hearts combined with a little spinach and lots of onions and garlic. Recipe Link Here
The Gravy was another nod to the Cali-Itali heritage, Garlic and Wine Gravy. Turkey stock, a nice California Chardonnay, Shallots, Herbs and of course lots of Garlic. Recipe Link Here
Hopefully, next Thanksgiving will feel a little more normal. In the meantime, stay healthy and safe, oh, and cook with love.
