Two Easy and Quick Mouthwatering Holiday Dishes

Every holiday I usually spend at least 8 hours in the kitchen. I’m usually making turkeys, hams, numerous side dishes, and a variety of desserts. Lately I’ve been cutting down my kitchen time by incorporating canned goods, and frozen foods into my dishes. I’m very picky when it comes to canned goods, especially when using them during the holidays. I prefer to stick with high quality brands. One of my favorites, would have to be Glory Foods!

Glory Foods has everything from canned seasoned collard greens, green beans, and even fried apples. I recently incorporated Glory Foods products into some of my favorite holiday dishes, and the outcome was amazing!

Creamy turkey and collard greens stuffed shells in a casserole dish. A unique recipe to add to your usual holiday dishes.

First up is my Turkey & Collard Green Stuffed Shells.

This year, I wanted to add a pasta dish to my Thanksgiving menu. I decided to go with jumbo pasta shells, and I stuffed them with shredded turkey breast, ricotta, and Glory Foods Turkey Seasoned Collard Greens. Once I stuffed the shells, I smothered them with a creamy cheesy garlic sauce and Italian cheese blend.  This dish took only 50 minutes to make.

This green beans, tomatoes, and okra side dish in a casserole pan is full of yummy seasonings.

The second dish is Green Bean, Tomatoes, and Okra Melody.

You can’t have Thanksgiving without a green bean dish right? That’s why I choose to use Glory Foods Seasoned Green Beans to star in this dish. Along with the green beans, I used diced tomatoes, okra, onions, a little bit of garlic, and black pepper. I honestly didn’t have to add a ton of seasonings because the green beans were so flavorful that it flavored the other veggies as well! This side dish only to 15 minutes to make.

A can of Glory Foods seasoned southern style turkey flavored collard greens and a can of Glory Foods seasoned southern style green beans sitting on a grey tablecloth. These veggies will make any dish tastier and simpler!

Stop by your local grocery store, go down the canned goods isle, and try out Glory Foods today. I highly recommend the seasoned green beans, turkey seasoned collard greens, and the fried apples as well!
