Turkey Buzz: Thanksgiving Beer Dinner and Cooking Class

Trying to figure out what to do this Thanksgiving to impress your guests? Well then join us for a Thanksgiving beer dinner and cooking class on Monday, Nov 11 at Market Garden Brewery. Chefs Parker Bosley and Adam Lambert will serve both classical and modern Thanksgiving dishs, all paired with delicious Market Garden Brewery beers.

The format of this dinner is a "family style" Thanksgiving dinner interupted periodically for some short instruction, including a demonstration of prepping the turkey for cooking, some tips and tricks about cooking techniques and timing, and further instruction about pie baking from Humble Pie's own Diane Sikorski.

All food served will be local products from Fresh Fork Market, including pasture raised turkeys (prepared 3 different ways), hearty side dishes, and dessert. The evening will be accompanied with a recipe guide to help attendees learn and recreate the recipes demonstrated at the event.

This year, we will include information and demonstration on:

- brining a turkey

- what to do with leftovers, including recipes for a turkey dinner terrine and turkey mac and cheese

- deboned turkey drumsticks stuffed with dressing, roasted, and served with house made gravy

The dinner will be accompanied by a sample menu and recipe guide so that guests may try to recreate this dinner experience. Be sure to come hungry because we will have a lot of food!

The dinner is $60 per guest with 3 beer pairings or $50 per guest without beer pairing. Please RSVP soon to save your spot. Spaces are limited.
