We will have FRESH ORGANIC and KOSHER ORGANIC TURKEYS Order your turkey now!

Remember that the conventional turkey lives in a tiny cage and is prone to sickness because he is in such close proximity of his other turkey brothers.  Because of that, he is regularly fed antibiotics.  Because they want him fat and juicy for T-Day, he is fed hormones.  And the feed he gets is laden with pesticides and chemicals.  They probably spray around his cage with him right there.  They are treated much like their cousin chickens.

Organic birds, on the other hand, are free to roam, do not get fed antibiotics or artificial growth hormones, and are fed only organic grains without chemicals, pesticides or herbicides.  They are processed carefully with attention to each bird.  They live a better less stressed life and that equates to a more healthful and delicious dinner for us!

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

We wish you a

Delicious Organic Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Recipes

 
     
 

Celebrate Thanksgiving with a array of fresh delicious organics!  Tips for a healthy Thanksgiving:

  • Offer a crudités platter with sliced Red and Orange Peppers, Radishes, Celery, Cucumbers, (blanched) Green Beans, Baby Carrots, Purple & Green & White (blanched)  Cauliflower, Zucchini & Yellow Squash.  If you offer it at the beginning instead of chips and make sure to have a delicious dip, it will disappear!  Especially if the vegetables are prepared properly and blanched (dropped in boiling water for 1 minute and then into an ice bath to set the color and stop the cooking) first.  Make an easy organic healthful dip of hummus, babaganoush zucchini dip, red pepper avocado dip or guacamole.

  • Offer nuts as a nice snack before dinner too.  Roast them yourself with Coconut Oil and Sea Salt.  Use them to top your Salad instead of croutons.

  • Offer a beautiful cheese and cracker platter with wonderful fresh fruit like Apples, Pears, and Grapes and offer a choice of spreads for the cheese: strawberry balsamic and sundried tomatoes.  You won't believe how good!  We'll have a great cheese selection back in stock soon including Kosher Chalav Yisroel Cheeses!

  • Make a delicious and colorful salad with red peppers, tomatoes, greens, scallions, cucumber, and toss in some nuts, pears, apples and/or cheese - you'll be amazed how it gets eaten up!  Make your own salad dressing by whisking together fresh squeezed orange juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper or make a simple vinaigrette of fresh squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, and salt.

  • Make soup - how about pumpkin soup and use the pumpkin as the tureen!  Make vegetable soup.  Soup is easy to make and is a great start to a meal.  Gets you well on your way to your 9 a day!

  • Make sure you have plenty of vegetables at the table.  The more sides that can be sampled, even by the youngest ones who get grossed out by anything green, the better.  Don't overcook the vegetables.  Try something new!  Make a colorful selection of veggies for your table!

  • Make fresh cranberry sauce, it's easy!  Cranberries have antioxidants and may help protect against cancer, heart disease and other ailments.  Plus they are great with Turkey and were a traditional side from even the first Thanksgiving.

  • Use fresh organic herbs (sage!)

  • Choose only an organic free-roaming turkey (if you're eating turkey).  Delicious Organics will have (a limited supply of) Fresh Organic and Kosher Organic Turkeys.  If you preordered one, yours is on hold for you and you just need to order it when you place your order online.  If you haven't yet ordered one, just order it with your Thanksgiving order as we should have enough.  We will call you if we run out and we'll make a note on our site immediately.  There is a difference between the Free-Range Natural Turkey and the Organic Turkey, not to mention the difference between those and a regular Conventionally raised bird

    Remember that the Conventional "Natural" Turkey lives in a cage with no room to move.  Because he is in such close proximity with his turkey brothers, the conventional bird is prone to sickness .  To ward off infection that will kill the entire group, the bird is regularly fed antibiotics.  The feed and area the birds live in is regularly sprayed with arsenic and other poisons to keep bugs away.  The feed is conventional and laden with pesticides and chemicals.  They may even be fed meat by products (other birds) which is not at all normal feed for a bird.  Because they want him fat and juicy for T-Day, he is also given hormones. 

    There is no guarantee of how much room the Natural Free-Roaming turkey gets.  There is no laws that allow for the use of that term.  These birds are not regulated and living conditions may be very similar to the conventional farm.

    Natural, Conventional and Free-Range birds are treated much like their cousin chickens.

    Organic Birds, on the other hand, are free to roam, do not get fed antibiotics or artificial growth hormones, and are fed only organic grains without chemicals and can roam naturally on bugs in the yard; no pesticides or herbicides are used on or around the birds.  They are processed carefully with attention to each bird instead of the mass feeding houses of their conventional cousins.  They live a better less stressed life and that equates to a more healthful and delicious dinner for us! 

  • Sweeten desserts with fruit, honey, agave nectar, and maple syrup instead of white processed sugar.  Make a fruit dessert.  Apple pie or an easy fruit crumble is a warm delicious way to help get to your 9 a day and the crumble topping can add fiber with whole oats too!  Add a fruit platter to your dessert repertoire including pomegranates, persimmons, pineapple, pears (hmm, is my son learning P words?) and papaya!  Offer apples, kiwi, berries, dates, date rolls and grapes.  Children and adults love finger food and will grab onto a piece of a fruit.  Plus it's refreshing and light after a big meal.

  • Make organic, bird-friendly, fair trade coffee or espresso.  We have many degrees of richness from which to choose.  Use grass-fed half and half or milk.

  • Cook with your kids - early eating habits start in the kitchen with preparing the meal.  Shop with your children too!  There are pictures and descriptions linked to almost everything we offer - easy shopping without the hassle or potential of being out in the store with frustrated kids!  Best part is you can read the recipes online or from your cookbooks and plan your menu while you check your cupboard and order everything you need without wasting time or gas!  Using Internet Explorer as your browser and your cart is saved until you submit it!

  • Decorate with seasonal fruit and vegetables including Hard Squash like Pumpkins, Delicata, Sweet Dumpling, and Butternut, Apples, Pears, and Grapes.  Use colored paper to cut out fall leaves and the children can decorate them and make Turkey cut-outs using their hand shape!  Have friends in other states send you real leaves to use as decoration and go through books to show children about seasons and lovely fall colors.  Get organic flowers delivered to loved ones and yourself!

  • Get healthy candles for your table and to set the tone around the house.  They set a fancy but cozy mood, add a warm glow, purify the air, and make any meal more elegant.

  • Play music.  Start it before the guests arrive.  Spend time with family and friends - having good friends will increase your life and keep you healthy!  Have Fun - Enjoy your holiday!

Not cooking?  Be sure to bring a thoughtful hostess gift like a basket of fresh fruit (we make lovely baskets), a crudités platter of vegetables, gorgeous Pearl Taper candles, the finest Chocolate, Organic Flowers, a bottle of Organic Wine, or a Delicious Organics Gift Certificate so your recipient can enjoy a delivery themselves!

Herb and Apple Stuffing
Copyright 2003, Ina Garten, All rights reserved

 

 
Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
Yield: 8 to 10 servings  

16 cups 1-inch bread cubes, white or whole wheat (2 baguettes)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
2 cups medium-diced yellow onion (2 large)
2 cups medium-diced celery (3 large stalks)
2 Granny Smith apples, unpeeled, cored and large diced
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup sliced blanched almonds, toasted, optional

 

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

Put the bread cubes on a 13 by 18 by 1-inch baking sheet and bake them in the oven for 7 minutes.

In a large saute pan, melt the butter and add the onion, celery, apples, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Saute for 10 minutes, until the mixture is soft.

Combine the bread cubes and cooked vegetables in a large bowl and add the chicken stock, and almonds, if desired.

Place the stuffing into the main cavity of the turkey and into the neck of the bird.. I cook a 12-pound turkey for 2 1/2 hours at 350 degrees F in a preheated oven. Make sure the stuffing in the cavity is secured by wrapping the legs tightly with string.

    Pumpkin Banana Mousse Tart
    Copyright 2002 Barefoot Contessa Family Style, All rights reserved
    Show: Barefoot Contessa  Episode: Thanksgiving
    This recipe is available for a limited time only. Why?


     

     Recipe Summary
    Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes
    Inactive Prep Time: 2 hours 30 minutes Yield: 10 servings
     

    For the crust:
    2 cups graham cracker crumbs (14 crackers)
    1/3 cup sugar
    1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

    For the filling:
    1/2 cup half-and-half
    1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
    1 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
    3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    3 extra-large egg yolks
    1 package (2 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin
    1 ripe banana, finely mashed
    1 teaspoon grated orange zest
    1/2 cup cold heavy cream
    2 tablespoons sugar

    For the decoration:
    1 cup (1/2 pint) cold heavy cream
    1/4 cup sugar
    1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    Orange zest, optional

     

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

    Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl and mix well. Pour into an 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom and press evenly into the sides and then the bottom. Bake for 10 minutes and then cool to room temperature.

    For the filling, heat the half-and-half, pumpkin, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water until hot, about 5 minutes. Whisk the egg yolks in another bowl, stir some of the hot pumpkin into the egg yolks to heat them, then pour the egg-pumpkin mixture back into the double boiler and stir well. Heat the mixture over the simmering water for another 4 to 5 minutes, until it begins to thicken, stirring constantly. You don't want the eggs to scramble. Remove from the heat.
    Dissolve the gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water. Add the dissolved gelatin, banana, and orange zest to the pumpkin mixture and mix well. Set aside to cool.

    Whip the heavy cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and continue to whisk until you have firm peaks. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture and pour it into the cooled tart shell. Chill for 2 hours or overnight.

    For the decoration, whip the heavy cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and vanilla and continue to whisk until you have firm peaks. Pipe or spoon the whipped cream decoratively on the tart and sprinkle, if desired, with orange zest. Serve chilled.
