Here's a recipe you can make with any leftover pumpkin and turkey. It's a quick weeknight meal, but it also makes for a great appetizer course at a fall dinner party.
Not only do the colors scream "AUTUMN!" the nutty browned butter and sweet pumpkin taste like fall. The list of ingredients may be small, but by letting the butter, shallots and pumpkin really brown, the Maillard Reaction does all the heavy lifting.
