Turkey Puffs for Thanksgiving

11/26/2016

 
Thanksgiving has always been a major holiday for my family. I have the best memories of cooking for two or three days before Thursday, planning weeks ahead for half a dozen or so recipes.  We had an A-Frame house that had stairs in the middle, so each year Dad put a huge piece of plywood on top of the cedar-sided railing, and our upstairs was transformed into a buffet. The plywood was dressed with a tablecloth, plates, napkins, punch, several kinds of cookies, bread sticks, cheese dips, crackers, and a selection of appetizers that varied each Thanksgiving. These turkey puffs are my mom's favorite of all those recipes, and this is the first year that I made them in our home. Happy Thanksgiving.
