Had never heard of trumpet royale mushrooms, so in they went. Fun ingredient.

Another killer from Michele.
“Who was this blundering idiot who said, ‘fine words butter no parsnip?’ Half the parsnips of society are served and rendered palatable with no other sauce.” William Makepeace Thackery

Sauteed onion and celery, butternut squash roasted with oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, turkey, apples, milk, butter, curry powder, balsamic vinegar.
A jewel of the autumn: butternut squash. Michele completely killed on this one.
“Besides, they always smell of bread and butternut.” Lord Byron almost said this.

A subtle and intestine-warming offering by my Tuesday partner Michele.
“My sense of humor is a turkey, and I pull it out of the oven and baste it in reality”. Tracy Morgan
The title says it all. Seasoned with cumin, liquid aminos, and Italian seasoning. Michele cooked up a good one here.
Liquid aminos? That was a new one on me. Healthier version of soy sauce, seemingly.
Mirepoix: red onion, celery, carrot, red bell pepper. Ground turkey, roasted purple and green cauliflower, roasted eggplant, okra, Anaheim pepper, garlic, sweet potato, fresh basil, fresh mint, fresh oregano, turmeric, paprika, lemon juice.
Martin tamed the ground turkey, although it still looked sorta like brain at the beginning. The fresh herbs were a key. And the turmeric too.

Mirepoix: yellow onion, red and green pepper, carrot. Ground turkey, rice, asparagus, poblano pepper, extra onion and pepper, zucchini, radish greens, Cajun spice mix, paprika, lemon juice, dill, marjoram.
Martin commented that the turkey looked a bit nuclear when it was cooking. It reminded me of those flying pizza things that don’t like light and that attacked Spock in that one episode.
Sometimes when we’ve got a lot of customers, the soup makers don’t have access to one or two of the burners, because we need to get a soup heated quickly to get it upstairs to serve out. Thus Martin roasted the mirepoix in the pan I used to cook my sausage. Sometimes pragmatism works well–the mirepoix soaked up the brown bits of the sausage and it tasted great.

Mirepoix: yellow onion, carrot. Turkey, asparagus, macaroni, diced tomatoes, tomato vodka sauce, marinara sauce, tomato sauce, fish sauce, Italian seasoning, fresh basil, garlic, parsley, cinnamon, honey.
“He stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni”. Whatever that means.
Fairly tame, but the addition of cinnamon and honey gave it a fun undertone.
Speaking of Undertones:
Mirepoix: carrot, yellow onion, green bell pepper, celery, garlic. Ground turkey, zucchini, corn, fresh mint, fresh basil.
The erosion of judicial power. Sigh. But the mint really brightened things up.
Made 9/5/18
