Or you can also boil peeled, cubed sweet potatoes in water for 15 minutes or until tender and drain, but I think roasting the sweet potatoes makes then sweeter.

Did you just call me “trashy” behind my back for using cereal in a Thanksgiving recipe? Guilty. Since it’s already gluten-free, everyone’s happy! It’s also super easy to make if you have a food processor and can be done in advance (Thanksgiving magic words!)

My Maple-Glazed Sweet Potato Gratin was in the same category for no other reason than it just seemed a little decadent to serve on a day that isn’t considered the biggest meal of the year. I’m no fan of stuffing, for example, so I keep the masses happy by making it on the holiday and then we forget about it until next year.

Pour the gravy mixture into the vegetable/turkey mixture along with the peas (I didn't want to use all the gravy so I ended up only using about half of it) and remove from heat. Pour in the chicken stock and the Worcestershire sauce and whisk occassionally for a few minutes until thickened. Whisk in flour and cook about 1 minute until the flour smell is gone. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add turkey to the mixture and brown until cooked through. Add seasoning and salt and pepper to taste.
