Haggen Northwest Fresh | Holiday 2017
The holidays are marked by a bonanza of rich, savory foods, leaving our taste buds crying out for some contrast. Enter the cranberry, with all the tart flavor and bright color we need to give our palates a little zing.
meet our Growers
Cape Blanco Cranberries
The Puhl family
On the rugged coast of Southern Oregon, the sea breezes and misty air allow the cranberries to stay on the vine longer, resulting in a sweeter, darker berry than most regions produce. Mary and Ron Puhl are proud that Cape Blanco remains independently owned and operated, committed to growing the very best cranberries.

Turkey time

Haggen Northwest Fresh | Holiday 2017
create The dinner of your dreams
When it comes to Thanksgiving dinner, there are some dishes we’re simply not willing to do without. For some, the turkey is the most essential part of the meal; for others, the side dishes are the highlight. Making little tweaks to the basics can turn a simple holiday dish into a classic—the one your family requests year after year!
Oh Good Gravy!
Seasoned holiday chefs know that making gravy ahead of time is a great time-saver. Roasting the drumsticks and vegetables adds a deep, caramelized dimension to the flavor, and the roux is the key to silky richness. As a bonus, add in the pan drippings from the turkey just before serving.
Is it stuffing or dressing?
This question has caused more than one heated holiday debate, and agreeing on the key ingredients is an impossible mission. No matter what you call it, it’s an essential side dish on any holiday table, and there are countless ways to make it delicious.
Mary’s poultry
Roasted Turkey Gravy 3 lbs turkey drumsticks 3 medium carrots, cut 3 celery ribs, cut 1 onion, quartered 4 cloves garlic 6 sprigs of fresh thyme 6 stems of fresh sage 6 stems of fresh parsley
2 Tbsp olive oil 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth 1 cup dry white wine 1 bay leaf 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup flour Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 450°. In large roasting pan toss drumsticks, vegetables and herbs with olive oil. Roast for about an hour, stirring occasionally until the meat and vegetables are browned. Remove from oven and transfer the drumsticks and vegetables to a large stockpot. Add the chicken broth, wine and bay leaf; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer. Add a cup of the stock to the roasting pan, scraping out the brown bits with a spatula; add to stock pot. Simmer for 1-1/2 hours or more if desired. Strain the broth into a bowl. Press to extract as much liquid as possible; discard vegetables and turkey. Let cool and skim the fat. In large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Slowly stir in flour and whisk until roux turns golden brown. Slowly add broth, letting the roux absorb the liquid before adding more. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until thickened and bubbly.
Northwest Savory Dressing 6 to 8 chestnuts in the shell 2 brats, skin removed 1/2 cup onion, chopped 1/2 cup celery, chopped 12 cups cubed dried bread 1/2 cup fresh parsley, minced 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 3 tsp fresh sage, chopped 1 Honeycrisp apple, chopped 2 eggs, beaten 1/2 cup milk or coconut milk 1-1/2 cups chicken stock Preheat oven to 350°. In small pot cover chestnuts with cold water, bring to a boil and simmer for three minutes. Remove from heat. Scoop out a few at a time and peel off the shell and skin with a sharp knife. Chop chestnuts and place in a large mixing bowl. In a medium frying pan crumble and sauté the sausage until browned and cooked through. Add the onion and celery and sauté for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add sausage, bread cubes, spices and apples to mixing bowl. Pour eggs, milk and stock over bread mixture, tossing lightly to coat. Lightly grease a 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Place dressing in dish and cover with foil. Bake, covered for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until top is golden brown.
From Pitman Family Farms, a third-generation family ranch that raises free-range, organic and non-GMO poultry. These birds are raised the old-fashioned way, without confining cages, antibiotics, or growth hormones. The animals are fed a vegetarian diet–free of gluten–for their health and yours. Mary’s poultry is air-chilled—the meat is cooled by cold, purified air, instead of dipped in ice water. The natural juices stay intact and undiluted, resulting in tender, more flavorful meat with naturally crispy skin.
Free Range Turkey
These turkeys are raised on healthful grains and allowed to roam in areas four times the size of the average commercial turkey ranch. A diet high in protein provides the optimum amount of nutrients for a large, flavorful turkey. Free of antibiotics, animal by-products, preservatives and no added hormones.
Organic Turkey
NON -GMO
These USDA Certified Organic birds are given only the very best. Their feed is free of antibiotics, GMOs, pesticides and chemical fertilizers. They’re verified GMO-free by the Non-GMO Project, and they’re packed full of pure, natural turkey flavor.
Heritage Turkey
These are descended from the first breed of turkeys that ever existed in the United States. They breed naturally, run and fly, and are generally just very healthy birds. These extra activities result in larger thigh meat and slightly less breast meat than found on a typical turkey. The flavor is superior, and the cooking time is slightly less than a standard turkey.

Atkins Ranch Natural New Zealand Lamb
Atkins Ranch Lamb is known throughout the world for its high standards and outstanding flavor. The animals are 100% grass fed, as nature intended, and free to roam on pasture in fresh air. No feedlots or grain supplements are used, and the animals are raised without any GMOs, antibiotics or hormones. The resulting meat is tender and delicious, high in lean protein, and rich in essential nutrients like iron, zinc, vitamin D and B vitamins. Compared to grain-fed beef, this lamb contains 60% more Omega-3 fatty acids, twice as much vitamins A and E, three times more conjugated linoleic acid (a good fat), and a higher concentration of unsaturated fats versus saturated fats. For delicious recipes visit www.haggen.com/atkinslamb
meet the farmers
Atkins Ranch Lamb is raised by a family of ranchers scattered across New Zealand’s North Island. The lush, rolling hillsides are ideal terrain for happy, healthy livestock to graze on the The Guscott Family–Glen Eden tender grass. The ranchers work in harmony with the ecosystem, setting aside areas of their ranches especially for conservation of the land and the water. The goal is to raise outstanding lamb while keeping the environment as pristine as possible. Most of the ranchers are tending third, fourth and even fifth generation ranches, keenly aware of the legacy that their ancestors created in order to provide a home and livelihood for their families. Raising natural New Zealand lamb is more than a job—it’s a way of life. Holiday 2017 | www.haggen.com
