Eddie Jackson kicks off the holiday season with a turkey-less Thanksgiving celebration. Chefs Christian Petroni, Adrienne Cheatham and Michael Voltaggio show Bobby Flay that the side dishes are the stars on this year's dining table.
Thanksgiving is an All American Holiday but that doesn't mean that we can't look to Europe to put a new spin on the classics with recipes for Brined Turkey Breast with Spanish Spice Rub & Sour Orange Sauce, Sherry Vinegar-Brown Sugar Glazed Turkey Drumsticks, Grilled Portobellos filled with Wild Rice and a mulled red wine Sangria.
Cranberries are the most popular accompaniment for turkey, so in the pre-heat, the seven bakers must make a dessert combining cranberry with another flavor of the season. To combat the sleepiness that follows Thanksgiving turkey, the main heat challenges the bakers to create a sweet treat that pairs coffee with an unusual flavor of coffee syrup.
