Out of this World Turkey Brine
Best brine for smoked turkey around. This recipe was given to me by my uncle. He is always smoking meat. EDITOR'S NOTE: This recipe uses canning or kosher salt, not table salt. Using table salt in this amount will make the brine too salty.
Lentil Soup
Hearty lentil soup, chock full of veggies and very yummy. Serve with warm cornbread.
Sarah's Applesauce
This applesauce is delicious! I make it for my younger brother all the time and he loves it - and he hates canned applesauce!

Roasted Vegetables
A casserole dish of seasonal vegetables that is so easy to prepare. It can be made a day ahead - just reheat before serving. Lemon juice can be substituted for balsamic vinegar, and you can use baking potatoes if you don't have any Yukon Golds on hand.
