North Country Thanksgiving

tsquared · October 07, 2009, 08:27:45 PM

Oakville smoker brought up the fact that it is our Thanksgiving this weekend in Canada--what do all the Canuckleheads have planned? I usually do a batch of smoked oysters to have as appetizers and I've also used the smoked oysters as part of an oyster stuffing for the turkey.

TSquared,
When I saw Thanksgiving and smoked oysters in the first line I immediately thought "please let him be doing some oyster dressing with those oysters". Love me some oyster dressing.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our smoker friends in the land to the north of the U.S.!

I'm with TSquared we have always put smoked oysters in our stuffing. A throwback from being boaters all our life and having an abundance of seafood on hand.

Yep, Happy Thanksgiving to North Country. You guys be safe and smoke a lot. eh!
tsquared, is that a family recipe on the oyster stuffing? I don't stuff a Turkey but I sure it can be adapted to a dressing recipe.
Post some pics if you can.

I found a recipe on the internet, but I would rather have one that is time tested. CRG

Unfortunately I have a house full of sick people so we won't be able to join the family dinner this year. And I was going to do my smoked stuffed pork loin with dry cranberries and raisins and maple syrup. And I was also going to make fresh cranberry sauce and jelly. DOH.

I didn't know about Thanksgiving happening up there. Have a good one.

Q, sorry about the sick people; not feelin' too good myself today.

I like raw oysters on the half-shell. I've never tried them smoked.

Let us all know how your Thanksgiving turned out people.

The wife is doing a turkey in the oven with all the trimmings while I am doing a Coho salmon on the grill with salt potatoes made on the side burner. I plan on making the taters into the garlic mash taters. Also going to smoke some salmon for appies along with some smoked Italian Sausage balls. Sort of like a competition between the wife and myself, let the games begin ;D
