I know you want appetizers or whatever but here are some other ideas and recipes too also the injection stuff for poultry is great as long as it doesn't contain message or anchovies.
I love putting cajun seasoning and garlic powder on poultry skin.
-I use to hate stuffing but I made it once and I loved the way I made it. I use potato bread and sour dough bread, celery, onion, sage, pepper and a pinch of garlic. Getting the moistness just right is the real trick.
-Gravy I use the poultry broth and thicken with Wondra or cream starch and add gravy packets or jars such as Heinz (cause I can never get enough gravy)
-Mashed potatoes I like using half and half and sour cream, butter, salt, parsley and a pinch of garlic.
-homemade fruit sauce I take a bag of apples, some pears, peaches or any fruit I want to add and peel and simmer with the lid on adding a little water and stirring if and when necessary along with sugar and cinnamon.
Here are some recipes for appetizers, casseroles and desserts, etc...
