Problem....

[conuly]

Lizziey got my mom a turkey before Thanksgiving, which has been in the freezer until today. I'm planning on cooking it after it defrosts in a day or so, but... I don't know how to cook turkey. Does anybody have any general turkey cooking advice? Any stuffing recipes? Any favorite side dishes that aren't holiday specific (well, yeah, christmas is a holiday I guess)?

HELP!

Shoepeg Corn

[sgt-pooh.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I can't help you on the turkey, I do chicken because I don't like turkey much. My dressing goes something like this..."Saute onions, celery and green pepper. Add chicken both, spices, and crumbled up cornbread until it looks right. Bake."

I can offer a simple side dish. This is a recipe that my family loves.

Shoepeg Corn Casserole

8 Tbsp. (1 stick) butter
8 oz. package cream cheese
4 oz. can chopped green chiles
2 cans white shoepeg corn, drained

Drain corn and chiles. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Melt the cream cheese and the butter together in a round casserole dish. Add green chiles and corn and stir well. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes.
