Thanksgiving meals usually include turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and a variety of other traditional side dishes. However, you don’t have to stick to traditions to have a wonderful and delicious thanksgiving meal this year. Instead, try experimenting with other types of entrees and accompaniments.
You’ll find a number of high-quality entrée choices at Prime Chops. Here are some ideas:
Thanksgiving Meal Idea: Porterhouse Steaks
Imagine your guests entering your home not to the smell of pumpkin pie and roasting turkey but to the sweet scent of succulent Porterhouse Steaks sizzling on a grill. Instead of fighting over the best pieces of bird, your guests can each carve into their own juicy, incredibly tender piece of Prime USDA Angus beef.
Of course, delicious steaks deserve equally delicious accompaniments. Green beans with almond and thyme is not only tasty but is also a colorful addition to any Thanksgiving plate. A mushroom risotto twice baked broccoli and cheese potato, or a chef salad would all be good choices for side dishes depending on the preferences of your guests.
Remember to have red wine with your meal if you plan to serve alcohol.
Thanksgiving Meal Idea: Langostinos
If you want to give your Thanksgiving guests a true treat, then serve them Fresh Water Langostinos as an entrée. Langostinos are large – 4 to 5 ounces each – shrimp which are served whole. The Prime Chops’ langostinos come from the clear waters off the coast of Africa so you don’t have to worry about their environment as you would with other types of shrimp. They taste wonderful served with a dash of lemon juice or a light covering of white sauce.
With a seafood main course, you could also choose to add other types of seafood to your menu as well. For example, shrimp cocktails could be a nice appetizer to service guests while adding a bit of crab to a dinner salad would be a welcome treat. You could also consider pairing the Langostinos with a smaller sirloin steak or – for a truly extravagant feast – a tender Filet Mignon.
Thanksgiving Meal Idea: Lamb
While porterhouse steaks and Langostinos may be excellent choices for smaller gatherings, if you’re having a large family meal for Thanksgiving then you may want to choose a savory Lamb Leg Roast. You can put the lamb roast in the oven to cook while you’re spending time entertaining your guests and filling the entire house with its delicious scent.
For side dishes, you can keep things simple. Roasted asparagus, a rice pilaf, or a spinach salad topped with fresh fruits would all be wonderful accompaniment ideas.
Just remember when you’re planning the Thanksgiving meal this year that you don’t have to serve the traditional turkey. Try a different main course and impress your guests!
