That would work very well. I like how creamy this version is.

I was actually looking at that! I could top it with bread crumbs and pop it into the broiler at the last minute to crisp up the crumbs. Thanks!

Yup, it is dark like duck… she has not requested one of those too. I will let you know how those turn out.

No hunters, at least not locally. I have access to some venison, I think. Let me get a few other projects under control and I'll give it some thought.

That's why you go out and shoot one. Seriously, my Dad and brother and bro-in-law go hunting every year on 26 Dec (and lots of other days) – and we have goose/duck/pheasant/dove all the time.

There are a lot of wild game cookbooks – trust me my family has at least 4 – so I would think there would be tons of recipes on the web. Heather a series of 'wild game' recipies would be cool – not sure where you would get the ingredients though unless you have a hunter in the family

Yes, goose is a darker meat like duck and it's really good if you roast it in a red wine sauce, I'll try and get the recipe from my mom.

My Dad always wanted to try a Christmas goose….we've never done it….because when I priced them, they're like $60 for a decent sized bird…and it STILL wouldn't have been big enough to feed my brood! LOL

My stepfather usually does a ham on Thanksgiving, too. We do pumpkin and pecan pies, usually. I’m hoping to get a pumpkin, pecan, and apple pie recipe up this year. I also am going to get a gluten free pie dough recipe up.

You’ll also need some turkey stock, Better Than Bouillon makes a great turkey base if you don’t have it on hand. It’s hit or miss at Bi-Lo, but I can almost always find all the varieties at Publix.

What kind of peas? On one hand I think this might be good, but my brain keeps envisioning mushy canned peas and that can’t be right.

I know what part of the country you're in. Who actually had a real yam? I've never eaten goose is it darker like duck?
