Taking Art to New Heights: The Work of John Duggan
Native Orange County resident John Duggan has lived in southern Italy now for almost three decades, and during that time has become a famous and sought-after artist. He is a unique blend of architect and painter, and has mastered the fine art of hand-decorating walls and ceilings with his trompe l’oeil creations. “It’s a lost art even here in Italy. Many homes have decorated ceilings dating back to the late 1800’s, when artisans from Naples would travel around the country and paint elaborate decor in the palazzos and villas of aristocratic families. John studied architecture at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and was introduced to the splendors of Italy while studying in Florence during his final year. He met his future wife who was also studying in Florence. Duggan is also a master watercolor painter, and his studio is filled with both landscapes and portraiture. How does someone who has lived in Italy for half of his life still describe himself as a kid from California? “Well, I was born and raised in Orange County, and have never lost that easy-going California attitude. It’s interesting to see how the rest of the world views California. I live in a town called Lecce in southern Italy in a region known as Puglia, and we share many aspects of California, namely the beautiful beaches and sunny weather. Today Duggan does commissioned work all over the world. We asked Duggan what brought him to Coto? “I first heard about Coto de Caza from my grandmother Margaret, who decided to move here from Garden Grove after she retired in the early 1980’s. As the story goes, she fell in love with the area, walked through a model home, and said “I’ll take it.” The realtor said, “you mean, you like the floor plan? You’d like a house like this one?” And she replied “no, I want THIS house.” The man quickly explained that this was a model home, and that they couldn’t sell that particular house until all the lots in the subdivision were sold. My grandma answered that wouldn’t be a problem, “just let me know when the time comes and I’ll take it.” She was born and raised in rural Kansas, and she had this no-nonsense attitude about her that I truly aspire to myself.” Margaret’s daughter Lynn Larson has asked her nephew John to paint a mural on her living room ceiling. “I really admire the Coto de Caza housing concept, but I think it can be taken a step farther. The area is filled with beautiful homes, each beautifully furnished and personalized to the owner’s taste, but the architecture remains essentially the same. Linda wanted to further personalize her home by asking me to render a sky ceiling that will add depth and perspective to the room. It will also adapt to her beautiful furnishings, much of
which belonged to my grandmother. I hope it becomes a model for others to see just how much a decorated ceiling can add to the beauty and sophistication of a Coto home.” Grandma Margaret was an excellent artist herself, and the walls are filled with her floral paintings. “I was truly inspired by my grandmother for many reasons, but above all by her artistic talents. She is the main reason I chose my field of work, and everything I draw or paint has a piece of her in it. Painting her home is a unique opportunity for me to give something back to her memory.” You can meet John Duggan and see his ceiling mural along with other examples of his work on December 10 & 11, 2016, noon to 10 p.m. at Lynn Larson’s home on 24112 Country View Drive, Coto de Caza. CA. 92679. Antipasti and refreshments will be served. Free admission, call now to confirm your reservation. For information regarding the event please contact Lynn at 949-3740486.

Step It Up Put a fresh take on post-holiday sandwiches For most people, the day after a big holiday gathering means two things: a refrigerator filled with opportunity and a marked lack of energy. Fortunately, there are easy ways to make the most of the remnants of your holiday meal so you can take it easy and enjoy a day filled with good food and good rest. Sandwiches are a natural solution for post-holiday noshing, but all those exceptional entrees practically beg for one last chance to shine. Put a fresh, wholesome twist on this year’s sandwiches by ditching the traditional condiments and dressing up your bread with a new kind of spread. New hummus-based Sabra Spreads – available in Garlic Herb, Honey Mustard and Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper – have 75 percent less fat than the leading spread, mayonnaise, and pair perfectly with sandwiches and wraps of all kinds. Make an upgrade with these stepped-up takes on the traditional turkey sandwich and more, and find additional mouthwatering inspiration at Sabra.com.

While beets are roasting, use same mixing bowl to prepare spread. Stir together spread, tarragon, salt and pepper. Cover bowl and store in refrigerator until beets are ready. Remove beets from oven and allow to cool slightly before assembling sandwiches. Slice rolls in half and spread garlic tarragon spread on inside of each roll. Top bottom half of roll with beets, apple slices, micro greens and red onion, then top with remaining half of bun.

Celebrate 100 years of majesty with a visit to a national park It has been 100 years since an important American institution was born. On August 25, 1916, the National Park Service was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson and was established as a new federal bureau to oversee the country’s national parks and monuments. Since then, the national park system has grown to encompass more than 400 areas covering more than 84 million acres in every state. With that act, grand sweeps of mountains, canyons, forests, islands and seashores were preserved and made accessible to people of all ages and abilities. Whether you are looking for back-country skiing down a mountain or just a scenic afternoon drive, our national park system has plenty of resources and infrastructure to make a visit enjoyable and memorable to just about anyone. It was John Muir, a naturalist and early parks advocate who said it best: “Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.” No matter where you live, there’s a good chance one of these mesmerizing landscapes or historical monuments is just a quick road trip away. However, while millions will visit these majestic spots each year, few realize a major challenge faces national parks across the country waste. The National Park Service manages more than 100 million pounds of waste nationally, much of
which is generated by serving more than 300 million park visitors per year - that’s enough to fill the Statue of Liberty more than 1,800 times. While waste is a major issue in the parks, visitors can make a difference. Subaru of America, experts in zero-landfill sustainability, is sharing its knowledge of these practices with the National Parks to help keep the parks beautiful for the next century. As part of that effort, the automaker, alongside National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA), has developed a set of tips that visitors can adopt to help reduce some of the biggest contributors to landfills from national parks, including paper, plastics and glass: Opt for online: While paper maps can be a park staple, there are smartphone apps that provide the same information and more. Even without cell service, some national park apps will give helpful information about where you can spot wildlife, catch a beautiful sunset, or even find a refillable water station. Mug for the parks: Bring a reusable coffee mug from home or buy one
from the souvenir shop to help reduce the 58 billion paper cups that are sent to America’s landfills every year. BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle): Americans throw away 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour. Keep a refillable water bottle on hand or buy one at gift shop, while taking advantage of convenient refilling stations around the park. Ditch the Plastic Bag: Help reduce waste by not using a plastic bag for your souvenirs or groceries that you bring into the parks. Instead, bring your own reusable bag or tote for your items to help eliminate plastic bag waste. Take Out What You Bring in: Think about what you bring in. Check to see if it can be recycled or composted in the park you are visiting. If it cannot, try to take it home. It is often far easier to recycle near your home than in rural park areas. If you are interested in learning more about Subaru’s efforts or what you can do to help make a positive impact for generations to come, visit subaru.com/environment. - (BPT)

Festival of Trees brings the holidays home and helps local families A holiday tradition of hope continues at the Hotel in Newport Beach as South County Outreach is presenting its 3rd annual Festival of Trees event on Dec. 8, 2016 to raise funds to fight hunger and homelessness. The Fairmont hotel in Newport Beach will be transformed into a winter wonderland with elaborately decorated trees, each with its own unique theme. Each year the trees are sponsored by businesses, organizations or individuals and were the centerpieces of the Silver and Gold Reception and tree auction. The Bowen Team of Re/Max Real Estate has been a tree sponsor with wonderful themes including Frozen and Culinary Christmas. The Silver and Gold Reception on December 8, from 6:30 pm to 9 pm, features wine, hors d’ oeuvres and seasonal entertainment in addition to the live auction during which the spectacular trees were sold to support South County Outreach programs housing, food and workforce training
programs Orange County. “Festival of Trees is a wonderful start to the holiday season. I cannot think of another location in Orange County that has this many one of a kind trees. Children love to visit the lobby to choose a favorite. And it highlights the need to fight homelessness and bring hope for the holidays because without a home there is no place for a tree and joy is in short supply,” said South County Outreach Executive Director Lära Fisher. Tickets to attend the Silver and Gold Reception are $100. The trees are on display for all of Orange County to enjoy beginning November 19. For more information on South County Outreach, visit www.scooc.org or call 949-380-8144. The organization has many opportunities for business involvement, individual volunteering and is always happy to help organize food drives.
Four-step PLAN Helps Shoppers Save on holiday shopping Retailers call the day after Thanksgiving “Black Friday,” because the holiday spending that happens that day generally moves their balance sheet into profitability and “the black.” Barbara Stark, director of community development and education at the national non-profit American Debt Counseling, Inc., serving clients throughout California, recommends following her simple, four-step P.L.A.N. during the holiday shopping season to keep your holiday budget in the black as well. “Retailers offer all kinds of deals to kick-start their all-important holiday sales numbers,” Stark explains. “The key is to have your own game plan for the day so that you take advantage of the opportunities to save on your holiday shopping without being tempted to spend more than you should.” Stark recommends following her simple four-step P.L.A.N.: Prepare a strategy that puts your financial resources to their best use. Realistically outline your holiday obligations and how much you have to spend. Just like at the grocery store, you’ll spend more at the mall without a list. Next, decide what gifts on your list are “must have” and set your
sights on getting them for the best price while they are still available. Layaway is a good alternative to credit cards for expensive purchases if the store or online site’s fee is less than 10 percent of the value of the items. You can reap the same bargains and enjoy the same selection as shopping on credit as well as the added bonus of knowing it is all paid for when you take it home. Layaway is also a good way to curb impulse buying later in the holiday season by enabling you to buy the gift you really want at a good price. Each store has its own rules and it is important to read the fine print carefully to be sure you understand the fees and cancellation policies. Avoid using credit. Shoppers spend 30% more on average when shopping with credit cards rather than cash. Also think twice before opening a new line of credit for a discount on that day’s purchases since any fees associated with a new credit card can end up costing you more than the money you’re saving. Cash, checks and debit cards are the best choice, but if you must use credit, choose the card that gives you the lowest inter-
est rate and most benefits, such as reward points or extended warranties. Navigate the deals. In their efforts to get you into their stores and not the competitions’, retailers advertise their sales. Many post them online as well as place ads in the paper. There are also internet sites devoted
to announcing Black Friday sales in advance. Some stores open early or even on Thanksgiving Day and you should begin looking for the deals at the start of Thanksgiving week to be ready to put your holiday shopping and savings PLAN into action.

‘Tis the season for creating dazzling holiday tables Laughter, joy, happiness - ‘tis the season for family and friends to come together around the table, celebrating all the warmth of the holidays. Really want to wow your guests at your next gathering? It’s as easy as mixing Christmas past with Christmas present. “The holidays are the best time to use the patterns you love, whether that’s your everyday pattern, a family heirloom, a Christmas favorite or all of the above,” says Keith Winkler, product marketing manager for dinnerware retailer Replacements, Ltd. “Take time to pull out the platter you inherited from your grandmother, or look for a way to blend in Aunt Rose’s vintage teapot. It really doesn’t matter whether you’re planning a casual dinner or a glitzy party, using heirloom patterns is more than a great conversation starter with your guests - these pieces bring tradition and family to your table.” The festive art of mixing and matching Perhaps you’ve read the buzz about the hot tabletop trend designers refer to as “mixing and matching.” Turns out, it goes beyond trendy. It’s pretty much an art. “Mixing and matching is a way to bring all your favorites together Page 10
to create a gorgeous table,” says designer Julie Robbins. “If you’re going to create a beautiful, festive look, be brave and bold; step away from using all the same colors and patterns and dare to blend all types of designs to create sparkle and magic. One of the easiest ways to start is by taking one of your favorite patterns and giving it holiday flair.” We asked Robbins to share her inspiration in creating one of Replacements’ main displays for the holiday season. “I really wanted to capture the spirit of the season by building on an everyday pattern I really love, so I started with Constance by Bernardaud,” Robbins says. “It’s a beautiful green, yet it’s also a cool, neutral pattern that refreshes everything you mix with it. I paired it with Grenadiers, a holiday favorite also by Bernardaud, which is a crisp, clean Christmas pattern but at the same time very festive and whimsical with toy soldiers around the edge. And to tie it all together, I mixed in a gold-trimmed ruby charger as the base to anchor the setting in traditional seasonal colors.” If you’re still uncertain how to create the look you want for holidays, Robbins suggests starting with a

neutral colored dinner plate, then layering a Christmas-themed salad plate in a floral, plaid or graphic motif. You can even serve a different course with each pattern. And don’t feel like you have to stick with traditional holiday colors - pairing cool blues with silver creates a lovely icy effect you can use throughout winter. Add a dash of sparkle While mixing and matching patterns captures seasonal spirit, sparkle adds a burst of magic and elegance. Robbins suggests incorporating metallic finishes, whether that means using platinum or gold trimmed crystal, or perhaps ornate flatware and serving pieces. “Using both silver and gold pieces on your table not only evokes the
traditional spirit of holidays, these metals reflect light, creating a glamorous twist,” adds Robbins. “Vintage silver is very popular this year, but rather than polishing it shiny bright, leave some patina to keep the heirloom quality of the pattern.” Another way to create sparkle: consider an eclectic mix of candles on your table. By combining crystal and silver votives, candlesticks or an odd candelabra, you can create a centerpiece that looks beautiful during the day and adds a warm glow to a winter night.

Senior Care Hero Awards Gala Honors Unsung Heroes and Nets Over $200,000 Photos by: Barbara Kimler The 6th annual Senior Care Hero Awards - considered the largest senior care recognition program in the county - was held at The City National Grove of Anaheim with 550 guests all helping to recognize the senior care industry’s unsung heroes. The net proceeds of the event were approximately $205,000 which will support of SeniorServ, Orange County’s largest nonprofit senior nutrition Meals on Wheels provider. The black-tie Senior Care Hero Awards gala “Finishing Strong” featured a beautiful red carpet welcome and cocktail hour with silent auction followed by an Academy Awards-inspired program, dinner and entertainment by The Dave Stephens Band. Emmy-award winning broadcaster Patrice King Brown served as guest host and event chair was founder and CEO of Dupont Residential Care and Assured InHome Care, Jacqueline Dupont, Ph.D., MSG, MPA. Special honorees named prior to event included Lifetime Achievement awardee John Kao, President and CEO of Alignment Healthcare; Senior Care Hero Humanitarian awardee Vincent Nguyen, D.O., C.M.D., Program Director, CARES/Palliative Care Program, Hoag Memorial Hospital and Senior Hero “Champion” awardee Olympian Greta Andersen, Orange County swimmer who participated in the 1948 (Gold medalist) and 1952 Olympics. Announcing like an Oscar-award format, Senior Care Heroes who were presented awards included: Outstanding Caregiver – Shelia Hubbard; Outstanding Nurse – Joyce Brown; Outstanding Social Worker – Angelique Ellingboe; Outstanding Physician – Dr. John Zamarra; Outstanding Executive Director – Anwar M. Saeed and Outstanding Senior Care Professional Fredy Dominguez. People’s Choice Heroes included: Senior Hero – Brenda Smith; Volunteer Hero – Helen Lynn; Family Member Hero - Dennis Wills and Veteran Hero - Alfonzo Jackson. An entertaining yet thought-provoking presentation was given by SeniorServ CEO Holly Hagler comparing the trials and efforts experienced by Olympians to the roles that caregivers play. She creatively explained that while those in senior support roles don’t consider themselves heroes, being “champions” for seniors can most definitely be considered heroic. Auctioneer Jim Nye led the live auction by auctioning an Ultimate Fenway Park experience. With the combined efforts of former MLB player and sports broadcaster Steve Lyons, Paul Gaarenstroom and SeniorServ Board of Directors, the package featured a private tour of Fenway Park, personal escort by Steve Lyons on the field for a meet and greet with Red Sox players, visit to the Red Sox dugout and a spot next to Lyons after his pre-game show. The package - which raised $4500 - also included roundtrip airfare for two from Southern California to Boston and a three-night stay at the Hyatt Place. A general fund-a-need ask followed the live auction and the combined efforts brought in $122,000. As the largest nonprofit Meals on Wheels senior nutrition and supportive service provider in Orange County, SeniorServ nourishes the wellness, purpose, and dignity of seniors and their families in our community. Community SeniorServ dba SeniorServ was incorporated in 1967 and merged with Feedback Foundation and Senior Meals and Services in 2006 to create a new agency with greater capacity, energy, resources, and vision for the sole purpose of meeting the increasingly diverse needs of the elderly population.

Judging from the number of decorating crews working in the local area neighborhoods, it appears that the holiday season is fast coming upon us. In times past, many homeowners would bring out their own ladders , go to the store and purchase their own lighting to hang on their homes. However, in recent times, many homeowners opt to hire a crew of professionals who are well-equipped to race up and down scaffolding and ladders to hang the decorating lights, arrange the electronics and timers to make the holidays much happier. these professionals make this task much simpler and exceptionally quicker. A two-story house shown in the photo above,was recently decorated with a complete array of lighting and installation and under one hour.another great selling point
from the decorating crews is that they come back after the holidays, pack the whole thing up and put it in the garage for you or take it away whichever is your pleasure. Nearly all of the local communities hold decorating contests and competitions to determine the best decorated homes in the area. Judging usually takes place between Thanksgiving and December 10 so if you are contemplating joining any of these contests,now would be the time to commence the decorating job at your house. This cheerful band is from the crew of holiday lighting including the Scotty Martin, Alex Bale, Connor Ziencing,Dave Collins, Mike Collins, Anthony Cann,Joshua Fawcett, and Donovan Decair

Virtual Experiential Demonstrations Highlight SEMA Show
By Ilene Schneider photography William Casper The hottest trends in Virtual Reality (VR) video and Augmented Reality (AR) video got rave reviews at the 2016 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center November 1 to 4. Attendees saw a series of automotive-themed experiential demonstrations and learned how the technology can be applied to all areas of automotive aftermarket product sales, marketing and development. The SEMA VR Experience featured live VR broadcasting, 360-degree video and fully immersive VR and AR experiences. It included a 360-degree video presentation of the Diamond Bar, CA-based SEMA Garage, including a tour of the Installation Center, Emissions Lab, Photo Studio, 3D Scanner and 3D Printer. VR and related technology such as augmented reality, which powers Pokeman Go, are quickly being used as sales tools and influencing customer behavior. “The SEMA Garage 360-degree video tour is a great reason in and of itself to check out all of the cutting edge demonstrations at the SEMA VR Experience,” said Peter MacGillivray, SEMA VP of events. “The added bonus is that SEMA attendees could experience how virtual reality and augmented reality work, and learn how these new experiential video technologies can benefit their bottom line.” SEMA, a nonprofit trade association founded in 1963, has been producing the trade show since 1967. Fifty years ago a few companies got together to see if they could sell more parts if they worked together. The resulting cooperation has turned into SEMA. Members are driven by their passion for cars, trucks and SUVs. The annual event brings together a diverse group of manufacturers and buyers within the automotive specialty equipment industry. Featured products enhance the styling, functionality, comfort, convenience and safety of cars and trucks. The SEMA Show attracts more than 100,000 industry leaders from more than 100 countries for unlimited profit opportunities in the automotive, truck and SUV, power sports and Page 14
RV markets. The 2016 SEMA Show drew more than 60,000 domestic and international buyers. Because SEMA is Southern California’s biggest off-road vehicle show, thousands of off-road enthusiasts are in attendance. The show has every conceivable product, from lift kits to lowering kits and giant tires to lowrider paint. Tool vendors had something for everyone. There were rechargeable tools, hand tools and equipment for the shops of both hobbyists and professionals. Rugged Ridge, which manufactures Jeep, truck and off-road accessories, introduced a new Modular Light Bar for ’07–’16 Jeep Wrangler JK and JKU models. It can arrange and configure lights, trail mirrors, camera mounts and accessories in countless arrangements, for ultimate versatility based on any Jeep owner’s exact needs. Mercury Racing revealed its new SB4 7.0 (small block – four valve) automotive aftermarket crate engine. The naturally aspirated, 7.0 Liter engine features Mercury Racing’s exclusive aluminum four valve cylinder heads and dual overhead camshaft valve train integrated with a LS cylinder block packed with Mercury Racing spec hardware. This proven valve train enables the engine to produce a staggering 775 horsepower at 7500 RPM on pump fuel. The displays were divided into 12 sections. A New Products Showcase featured nearly 2,500 newly introduced parts, tools and components. In addition, the SEMA Show provides attendees with educational seminars, product demonstrations, special events, networking opportunities and more… The top trending vehicle models in five categories were announced at the show. Selected by the show’s manufacturing e x h i b i t o r s , t h e S E M A Aw a r d winners were the Ford Mustang as the Hottest Coupe, the Dodge Charger as the Hottest Sedan, the Ford Focus as the Hottest Hatch, the Jeep Wrangler as the hottest 4x4-SUV, and the Ford F-Series as the Hottest Truck.

Join The Movement For Men’s Health With The Movember Foundation The current state of men’s health is in crisis. Too many men are dying too young; on average six years younger than women. Today, the Movember Foundation, launches its 2016 campaign to Mo Bro’s and Mo Sista’s across the nation, encouraging men and women to raise funds for men’s health and stop men dying too young. This Movember the Foundation is challenging men to Grow a moustache, or for both men and women to Move and make a commitment to get active, or Host an event. Choose how you’ll get involved, spread the word, start a conversation, and have fun while doing good. “We are extremely happy to embark on another moustache-filled Movember this year and get others to join the fight to help stop men dying too young,” said Mark Hedstrom, SVP of Global Operations at the Movember Foundation. “Many of our fathers, partners, brothers and friends are facing a health crisis in the areas of prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health, and without people talking, and taking action, nothing will change. The Movember Foundation understands this, and by sparking conversations and engaging with men where they are, we hope to drive this change.” The Movember Foundation wants men alive, well and enjoying life. Since 2003, the Foundation has raised more than $710 million and funded 1,200 breakthrough men’s health projects in 21 countries for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention, while positively challenging the way in which men’s health issues are addressed. Men are dying too young, and the rates of these casualties are staggering: Prostate Cancer: In the U.S., prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in men in the United States. Statistics show that 1 in 7 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Testicular Cancer: Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men aged 15-34. And, unfortunately, the rate of men diagnosed with testicular cancer has doubled in the last 50 years. About 8,720 new cases of testicular cancer are diagnosed in men each year. Mental Health: Untreated mental health conditions can carry a high risk for suicide among men. More than three times as many men as women die by suicide in the U.S. And on average 87 men each day take their life by suicide. The Movember Foundation is committed to keeping things fresh, keeping the community informed, and remaining transparent and Page 16

Movember draws support from across all areas, including that of the entertainment industry. Foundation ambassadors use their influential voices to start conversations that encourage people to join the movement. Some of Movember’s ambassadors for the 2016 campaign season include Ian Somerhalder, Colman Domingo, Barry Sloane, James Wolk, Aldis Hodge, Jason O’Mara, Aaron Diaz, Sinqua Walls, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Ellen K, Jonathan Kite and Katrina Law. Join the movement for men’s health by signing up to Grow, Move or Host at Movember.com. The Movember Foundation wouldn’t be where it is without the enthusiasm of men and women around the world. Be sure to connect with Movember on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube and follow the campaign on social media, with the hashtag #Movember. About the Movember Foundation The Movember Foundation is the only charity tackling men’s health on a global scale, year round. We run awareness and fundraising activities, with the annual Movember campaign in November being globally recognized for its fun, disruptive approach to getting men to take action for their health. During Movember, men and women around the world raise funds by growing or supporting a moustache, getting physically active, or by hosting or an event. Not only do these commitments raise vital funds, they also generate powerful and often life-changing conversations. Millions have joined the movement, raising $710M to help us fund more than 1,200 men’s health projects focusing on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. We have one goal: to stop men dying too young. For more information please visit Movember.com.

Turkey Croissant
FAMILY FEATURES
A
fter the big day has come and gone, most holiday hosts find themselves still talking turkey. What to do with all that leftover bird? During the long weekend following the holiday, you can put those leftovers to good use. Recipes that incorporate turkey in deliciously unique ways will help you use up those leftovers and clear out the fridge before you know it. To ensure the tastiest dishes you can feel good about serving your loved ones, look for the USDA-verified seal on your turkey’s packaging to know that your turkey was raised with no growth-promoting antibiotics by farmers who care. One good option: Honeysuckle White, the first major turkey brand to supply turkey without growth-promoting antibiotics and without charging a premium price. For more recipes and preparation tips, visit www.honeysucklewhite.com.
Holiday Minis
Servings: 48 pieces Prep time: 15 minutes Bake time: 15-20 minutes 1 pound (or 3 cups) chopped Honeysuckle White turkey (dark and white meat) 1 package (14 ounces) cornbread stuffing mix 1 jar (16 ounces) turkey gravy 1 can (6 ounces) cranberry sauce with whole cranberries Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray mini muffin pans (as many as needed to make 48 bites) with nonstick cooking spray. Chop freshly cooked
Servings: 12 Prep time: 20 minutes Total time: 25 minutes 1 pound (approximately 2 cups) of leftover Honeysuckle White whole turkey, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 1 cup toasted pine nuts 1 cup diced celery 6 tablespoons chopped fresh chives 6 tablespoons diced red bell pepper 1 cup low-fat mayonnaise 2 tablespoons lemon juice 12 croissants
Combine turkey, pine nuts, celery, chives and red pepper in medium bowl. Stir in mayonnaise and lemon juice. Split croissants and place generous helping of turkey salad on bottom half of each, top with remaining half and serve. To toast pine nuts: Place nuts in dry skillet in single layer and toast over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring as needed to prevent burning. Because pine nuts can burn easily, it is a good idea to watch until they are golden and fragrant, which means they are toasted.
Turkey, Spinach and Swiss Quiche
or leftover turkey into 1/4-inch pieces. In large bowl, prepare stuffing mix as directed on package. Add turkey to stuffing mixture. Stir in 1 cup turkey gravy. Mixture should hold together when spooned into a ball. If mixture is too dry, add more gravy by tablespoons until correct consistency is achieved. Spoon stuffing mixture into muffin pan, filling each cavity full, then pressing mixture down to level top of each bite. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Remove from pan and garnish each bite with cranberry sauce. Additional gravy may be heated and served on side as dipping sauce.

Saute celery, carrot, garlic and reserved 2 tablespoons onion for approximately 10 minutes, or until vegetables are soft. Add yellow peppers, potatoes, stock and 1 tablespoon salt.

Quality Starts on the Farm
1 (9-inch) pie crust, unbaked Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Saute onion, pepper and garlic over medium heat until tender, about 3 minutes. Add turkey and thawed spinach (squeeze out moisture) and saute 1 minute or until all ingredients are heated through. Remove from heat. In mixing bowl, beat together eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Sprinkle cheese into bottom of pie shell. Layer turkey, vegetable and spinach mixture on top of cheese. Pour egg mixture over top. Bake approximately 50 minutes, or until center is set.
Darrell Glaser, a sixth-generation farmer from Texas, along with his mother, Jeannette, and wife, Shannon, started raising turkeys more than 20 years ago. Today, his four sons also help on the family’s farm. “We do everything we can to produce a quality product that other families would be comfortable eating during the holidays,” Glaser said. Glaser, who has raised nearly 14 million turkeys, says this starts with keeping the birds healthy and comfortable. “We take really good care to ensure the environment is just right for our turkeys. This includes keeping the floors of our barns dry and making sure the birds have plenty of fresh air and good quality water and feed,” Glaser said. Glaser says if turkeys are happy and comfortable, they are generally healthy, which reduces the need to prescribe medicine, like antibiotics. Glaser and his family are one of more than 700 independent farm families who are raising turkeys for Honeysuckle White without using growth-promoting antibiotics. “We feed America and want to provide a quality food source for our customers,” Glaser said. “With consumers more concerned about their food, if we can produce wholesome turkey without growth-promoting antibiotics, then we should.”
