HEARTFELT THANKSGIVING
---Nora Shutt
What comes to mind about Thanksgiving?
Do you think of a feast and all the trimmings?
Amidst our celebrations something’s missing
If we fail to remember the meaning of Thanksgiving.

The meaning of Thanksgiving is what it says,
Giving thanks to God for our daily bread.
Let’s not forget the most important part;
Let’s truly keep Thanksgiving in our hearts.


JIMMY CARTER CANDY

12 ounces crunchy peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup corn syrup
6 cups corn flakes

Heat syrup and sugar until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter. Stir in corn flakes. Roll into balls.

TURKEY MOLE

6 pounds bone-in, skin-on turkey thighs and breasts 
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 ounces baking chocolate
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons sugar 
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
1-1/2 tablespoons chili powder
14-1/2 ounces whole tomatoes, drained
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

     Wash turkey pieces in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place in a large, heavy-bottomed pot and add enough water (at least 5 cups) to just cover turkey. Add salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat; skim and discard any scum that rises to the surface. Reduce heat and gently simmer until tender and thoroughly cooked, about 40 minutes.
     Remove from pot and let cool. Strain and reserve cooking liquid. When cool enough to handle, remove meat and discard skin and bones; set aside.
     Heat the same pot used for cooking the turkey over medium-high heat. Add oil and heat until hot, but not smoking. Add onion and sauté until golden brown and softened, about 4 minutes. Pour 3 cups of the turkey broth into pan to deglaze. Stir in drained tomatoes, peanut butter, chocolate, sugar, chili powder and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.

     Remove from heat and purée in a food processor or blender (use caution when puréeing hot liquids) or leave in pot and purée with an immersion blender. Return to pan along with reserved turkey. Cook until thoroughly heated. Serve immediately. Servings: 8.

This is a different version of mole that uses common pantry items to make a complex, slightly nutty sauce to coat gently poached turkey. Serve with rice and beans for a delicious meal.
