Anita Matthews is a co-owner of St. Louis’ Ms. Piggies’ Smokehouse and hickory smoked turkey-cooking extraordinaire. She’s been perfecting her Thanksgiving feast for years, and now she’s sharing her secrets with the world. Here are Anita’s tips for making your holiday meal more flavorful.
ADD SOME COLOR
Thanksgiving is known for being a very traditional holiday, which often manifests in very traditional food choices. This year, why not add some color to your feast? Anita recommends vibrant side dishes like roasted sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and green beans with almond slices.
Not only will these dishes add some much-needed variety to the table, they’ll also give your guests something beautiful to look at. And we all know that we eat with our eyes first!
GET SPICY
After years of bland turkey dinners, Anita finally decided to spice things up—literally. She started by adding some cayenne pepper to her brine recipe, and the results were amazing.
The turkey came out juicier and more flavorful than ever before. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can experiment with other spices like rosemary or sage. Just be careful not to go overboard—you don’t want to overwhelm your guests’ taste buds!
MAKE YOUR OWN PIE CRUST
Nothing says “homemade” like a flaky, golden brown pie crust. And luckily, it’s not as difficult as you might think.
With just a few simple ingredients—flour, salt, butter, and ice water—you can create a delicious crust that will make your pies the talk of the table. Just follow Anita’s step-by-step instructions and you’ll be impressing your family and friends in no time.
