Kelly and Michael: Thanksgiving Family Recipe Week
Thanksgiving is almost here, so it’s time to plan what you are going to be making this year. Michael Strahan’s fiance, Nicole Murphy, was in the kitchen with the co-hosts to prepare her grandmother’s Cornbread Chicken Apple Sausage Stuffing Recipe.
Last year on the show, Nicole Murphy made a Pumpkin Pudding Crunch Recipe for dessert. Other treats from last Thanksgiving included Camilla Consuelos’s Apple Sausage Stuffing (similar, huh?), Michael’s Sweet Potato Casserole, Kelly’s Squash Soup, and Gelman’s Spicy Brussels Sprouts.

The couple agreed that Michael is no expert in the kitchen, but he was happy to pitch in on the show. Kelly was excited that you can get pre-chopped Mirepoix in some grocery stores, so you don’t even have to chop the veggies yourself. Nicole and Kelly helped themselves to extra Peach Moscato during the cooking process.

- 2 cups chopped Yellow Onions or Red Onions
