Contact Information: NEW CABOT RECIPES “Watching a football game after Thanksgiving dinner is an American tradition,” said Roberta MacDonald, Senior Vice President at Cabot Cheese. “There are 2 NFL games on T.V. Thanksgiving day and 13 games on Sunday, November 27—a perfect time to use up all those leftovers and spend some time with the family.” For a complete schedule of NFL football games, please visit www.nfl.com or, for college football, www.ncaafootball.com. Chef Jon Ashton has created three new post-Thanksgiving, football season recipes for Cabot Cheese: Cheddar Potato Skins with Garlic Herb Cheese Dip, Half-Time Turkey Wraps, and Time Out Turkey Soup. These and many other recipes are available on Cabot’s web site at www.cabotcheese.com/recipes. CHEDDAR POTATO SKINS WITH GARLIC HERB CHEESE DIP Makes 4 servings. Dip: 1/2 cup Cabot Sour Cream 1/2 cup grated Cabot 50% Light Garlic & Herb Cheddar Potato Skins: 8 potato skin halves 2 tablespoons melted butter 1 tomato, seeded and chopped 1/2 cup sliced green onions 1 cup grated Cabot Mild, Sharp or Extra-Sharp Cheddar To make dip: In small bowl, combine sour cream and cheese; set aside. To make potato skins: Preheat broiler. Place potato skins, rounded-side-up, on baking sheet or broiler pan and brush with melted butter. Place under broiler, about 5 inches from heat, and cook until crisp and golden, about 4 minutes. Remove from broiler and turn over; sprinkle tomatoes and green onions into cavities. Top with cheese. Return to broiler until cheese is melted and potatoes are hot, about 2 minutes. Serve with dip. HALF TIME TURKEY WRAPS Makes 4 servings. 1 cup low-fat sour cream 1/4 cup cranberry sauce 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped garlic Salt and ground black pepper to taste 4 (9- or 10-inch) flour tortillas 2 cups diced cooked turkey (about 10 ounces) 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro 1 cup grated Cabot 50% Light Cheddar 6 tablespoons coarsely chopped pecans 1 1/3 cups packaged coleslaw mix In small bowl, mix together sour cream, cranberry sauce and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Spread 2 tablespoons of mixture down center of each tortilla. Top each with one-fourth of turkey, cilantro, cheese, pecans and coleslaw mix. Fold edges of tortilla over ends of filling, then roll up burrito-style. Cut each wrap in half diagonally. TIME OUT TURKEY SOUP Makes 4 servings. 1 meaty carcass from roasted turkey, broken apart 1 (10.5-ounce) can chicken broth 5 cups water 4 tablespoons Cabot Unsalted Butter 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons heavy cream (optional) 1/2 cup grated Cabot 50% Light Cheddar Salt and ground black pepper to taste Remove meat from turkey carcass; chop or shred and set aside. Place carcass and skin in large pot and add water and chicken broth. Bring to simmer and cook, partially covered, for 1 hour. Pour stock through strainer to remove skin and bones. In large saucepan, melt butter over low heat; stir in flour, raise heat to medium, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, or mixture is until lightly colored with pleasant, nutty aroma. Gradually whisk in hot stock; cook, stirring, until soup returns to simmer and thickens. Stir in cream, if using. Just before serving, stir in cheese and reserved shredded turkey; season with salt and pepper.
