December 22: Counting Down to Christmas with Turkey!
Are you ready for Christmas! Just two days more until this joyous celebration. If you haven't given any thought for your Christmas dinner main course, then check out our Dishfolio food bloggers' online food recipes for turkey!
While the poultry bird is often associated with American Thanksgiving, it's also a popular traditional meal during Christmas in many countries from Portugal to Slovenia, often roasted and stuffed. Turkey became prominent in England in the 16th century and just in 2009, it was reported that 7,734,000 turkeys were consumed on Christmas Day in the United Kingdom alone.
Stuffed turkeys can be baked or roasted in an oven for several hours until they reach that beautiful golden color that would make any top food photographer want to break out your food photography equipment. If you're inspired to make turkey for Christmas dinner and searching for some turkey recipes for Christmas, here are amazing featured recipes from our Dishfolio food bloggers!
