Give Thanksgiving a Jewish Flavor

\”My sister-in-law stuffs Thanksgiving turkeys with a matzah ball mixture,\” says Faye Levy, food columnist and author of 14 cookbooks. \”Instead of making patties and poaching them, she cooks this tasty mixture inside the turkey.\”

This never struck Levy as odd, because her mother used to make noodle pudding on Thanksgiving.

\”Her Thanksgiving dinners were almost like Shabbat meals,\” she says.

One of Levy\’s all-time favorite dishes is Thanksgiving potato kugel with asparagus. \”I first tried it at the home of a friend from Colorado,\” she says, explaining that it was his grandmother\’s recipe.

\”In his family, that dish was the essence of Thanksgiving.\”
