Turkey with cranberries, recipes below
The Thanksgiving Day holiday has a much shorter history than most people realize. European Settlers and Native Americans did have a meal together during the colonial period that most associate with Thanksgiving. But neither side called it a Thanksgiving Day meal and in fact the Europeans saw it as a religious fall harvest festival, a tradition with a long history in Europe. Moreover Native American leaders viewed the event, which included several days of feasting and most likely no Turkey on the menu but plenty of venison, as a political summit with European counterparts. It was President Abraham Lincoln who first ordered all government departments closed for a local day of thanksgiving on November 28, 1861 just several months after the start of the Civil War. In 1863, New England writer and magazine editor Sarah Josepha Hale then forcefully lobbied Lincoln to establish an “annual Thanksgiving” day as a “National and fixed Union Festival.” Thereafter Lincoln issued a proclamation, not a federal law, but a proclamation, that began shaping the tradition we celebrate today; more on how it became a federal holiday tomorrow. I came across an interesting Civil War period primary source that stated that every year thereafter Lincoln’s proclamation, a détente occurred just prior to Thanksgiving Day during which time Union and Confederate cooks came together to agree on a “standard” holiday menu. Cooks from both camps collaborated to prepare among other dishes a “most imposing stuffed turkey, cranberry sauce, turnips, [and] pumpkin….” Here are some turkey and cranberry recipes that will come in handy this Thanksgiving:
