It was just last Monday (Canadian Thanksgiving) that we had a turkey dinner. But for some reason I was craving it again. So last night I roasted a whole turkey breast. It was just over six pounds so lots of leftovers for my favourite Hot Turkey Sandwiches.
Besides the standards of dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy
I was being lazy yesterday and didn’t feel like going out so I used what I had on hand.
Cauliflower Au Gratin
=====================
This is an outline. I don’t really follow a recipe when I make this.
Small head of cauliflower cooked until almost tender
Butter
Flour
Garlic
Salt, pepper
Chicken broth
Cream
Cheddar Cheese or parmesan
Bread Crumbs
Parmesan cheese
Make a roux with butter and flour. Add a little minced garlic.
Add chicken broth and/or cream. Cook until sauce is thick and add some cheddar or Parmesan cheese.
Stir in the cauliflower. Pour into a casserole dish.
Sauté some fresh bread crumbs in a little butter seasoned with garlic and more Parmesan cheese and sprinkle on top of the cauliflower. Bake in a 350 oven until hot.




This looks delicious. Another meal I just love!! I'm going to get either a roasting chicken or a turkey breast. And I want to try your Cauliflower Gratin. Looks wonderful –
AHHH! Why must you torture me?? Turkey day is a whole…month…away! I am thinking Thanksgiving is coming early to our house! 😉
We had a very similar dinner yesterday night but with a huge roasted chicken…I always start to crave the Thanksgiving meal around this time…Your looks wonderful! As always!L~xo
I remember when years ago someone asked you if you were married:) I am sure you get proposals all the time;) But I know your heart belongs to Moe:)This looks like home on a plate.
I'm so hungry for a turkey dinner just like the one you've prepared. Cauliflower au gratin is a favorite here. Brussel sprouts too. I can't wait for Thanksgiving.
completely and totally *f a b u l o u s !! **
WOW. This looks so hearty! I can imagine using the gratin recipe on broccoli too.
I caved yesterday; had a wonderful turkey sandwich with stuffing and cranberry. I still think your dinner is much better!
