Odds are, if you grew up celebrating Thanksgiving you’ve probably had the classic green bean casserole with crunchy French onions in it. That one is great, but I thought it would be nice to have an updated take on green bean casserole this year. This version has Bragg’s Liquid Aminos (you could also use coconut aminos or soy sauce), a little coconut sugar, butter, garlic and - most importantly - bacon. Whether you use our wild boar bacon, duck bacon, or both, you’ll find that it takes green bean casserole to a level you never realized was possible.

Wild Boar Is One Of The Most Sustainable Meats Available

Our Southwestern wild boar roam the forests, foraging their natural diet. They love to eat berries, nuts, roots and tubers which give their meat its unique and delectable flavor profile. They’re trapped under the supervision of specialized veterinarians and butchered by a small scale, species specific facility. Just like all of our products, we care about where this meat comes from. Wild boar are actually an invasive species to North America, and their population continues to grow. They ruin crops and disrupt the growth of endangered plants in forests by digging in the soil. When we eat humanely trapped wild boar meat it helps to protect our food supply and forest ecosystems.

If you’ve never tried our wild boar bacon before, get ready to be obsessed. Bacon is already known for being one of the most delicious foods in existence. Our wild boars roam the forests of the Southwest, foraging their natural preferred diet of roots, nuts, berries and tubers. This gives our wild boar meat a nutty, complex flavor profile that has so much depth and dimension compared to conventional pork bacon. It’s also slightly less greasy than conventional bacon and contains more vitamins and minerals.

Duck Bacon: Your New Favorite Indulgence

Duck bacon is actually meat cut from the breast of the duck where there is a large amount of fat. Nonetheless, it’s incredibly similar in texture and flavor to more familiar varieties of bacon. Our ducks are raised in quiet, spacious barns on a small group of farms in rural Indiana. They are often raised by Mennonite or Amish farmers, and are lovingly cared for on family farms. They are White Pekin ducks, bred for their tender, mild flavored meat that is preferred by most people with an Americanized palette. This duck meat easily adapts to a wide range of flavor profiles and cuisines.

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds fresh organic green beans, trimmed if desired
• ½ pound wild boar or duck bacon, cooked and roughly chopped
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
• 1 ½ tablespoons Bragg’s Liquid Aminos
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Bison bone broth, if you have it on hand to cook the beans in
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Move an oven rack to the middle of the oven.
2. Bring the bison bone broth (or, alternatively, salted water) to a boil in a large pot. Add in the washed and trimmed green beans. Simmer for approximately 15 minutes. Strain the water out and place the green beans in a baking dish.
3. Add the cooked wild boar or duck bacon in with the beans. Then, melt the butter in a small bowl. In the same small bowl, add in the coconut sugar, liquid aminos, garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper. Stir to combine. Pour over the green beans and bacon. Toss to distribute everything evenly through the green beans.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until tender and cooked all the way through.
5. Remove from the oven, give it a stir and serve immediately.

Everyone’s favorite eating holiday is coming up, and I’m starting to plan what will be on the menu for this year. Although a roasted turkey is the traditional centerpiece, there’s lots of other main course worthy meat items that you can choose to serve instead of or alongside a turkey. Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays - I really enjoy celebrating the abundance of the land and sharing food with loved ones. Whether you’re cooking for two or cooking for a crowd, have a lot of time or a little - we’ve got you covered with these top 5 meats for Thanksgiving.

1. Turkey (The Obvious Choice)
2. A Whole Bison Tenderloin Roast
3. Roasted & Spiced Leg Of Lamb
4. Grass Fed Beef Or Bison Brisket
5. Herb Crusted Wild Boar Tenderloin

1. Turkey (The Obvious Choice)

It’s not called Turkey Day for no reason, folks. Turkey is obviously the classic and it’s always a solid choice. You might even feel like Thanksgiving is incomplete without a turkey on the table. There’s definitely a special quality to carving a perfectly roasted bird to serve to a gathering of family and friends. If turkey on Thanksgiving holds sentimental value for you, it might be the only way to go. Not to mention, it usually makes for some pretty epic leftovers. My personal favorite is a leftovers sandwich consisting of turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce. Absolutely delicious. We have an extremely limited quantity of turkeys available for Thanksgiving, so place your order now if you’d like to have one.

2. A Whole Bison Tenderloin Roast

Okay, if you think the turkey is impressive, wait until you serve up an entire bison tenderloin subprimal for Thanksgiving. You can serve this without worrying about missing out on the wow factor of a turkey, or simply serve it alongside and have both. The bison tenderloin has incredible flavor and texture. We recommend searing it before roasting, and tying it up with butcher twine so that the meat is an equal thickness all the way through for cooking. This prime cut is highly sought after for the famous filet mignon steak. The subprimal is the entire roast intact, prior to being divided into separate steaks. If you see these in stock, be sure to grab one while you can because we typically only get a few at a time.

3. Roasted & Spiced Leg Of Lamb

Leg of lamb definitely has a festive holiday vibe, and it’s a completely legitimate choice for Thanksgiving dinner. It’s simple, yet distinctly decadent with incredible flavor. Our lamb is moist, tender and truly delicious. It’s a match made in heaven with a large variety of holiday spices and herbs including orange, cardamom, mint and thyme. A good lamb roast is able to carry complex seasoning without losing its own flavor profile along the way. Give the lamb a generous spice rub and roast in the oven for amazing results.

4. Grass Fed Beef Or Bison Brisket

If you think that the season for brisket fades away when you it’s time to store your smoker for the winter, think again. We love to slow braise briskets in the oven or cook them in Crock Pot or Instant Pot. This meltingly tender classic reaches perfection when it’s cooked low and slow. And although Thanksgiving leftovers are pretty much great no matter what, brisket sandwiches are really something special. No matter what your favorite sides are to serve alongside, brisket will go perfectly with just about anything. Choose from our pasture raised bison or beef, neither will disappoint.

5. Herb Crusted Wild Boar Tenderloin

If you haven’t ventured outside of wild boar bacon yet, this should definitely be next on your list. These prime cuts are so tender and with that nutty, delicious flavor profile that makes everyone love wild boar. Sage, garlic and thyme will make for a drool-worthy crust on the outside. Wild boar tenderloin is an especially great choice if you’re looking for something that will cook more quickly than turkey. These don’t take a lot of time to prepare and certainly don’t sacrifice anything in the flavor department. Or you can try one of my favorite preparations for wild boar tenderloin, with spiced orange and cranberry sauce.

These shrimp and bacon flatbreads are filling, fresh and satisfying. I love shrimp when I”m looking for a boost of protein that’s really quick and convenient to cook. Chopped wild boar bacon or duck bacon make this recipe even more delicious. Kewpie mayonnaise is a Japanese condiment made only from egg yolks and with some slightly different ingredients from regular mayo giving it a distinctive Asian flavor. It’s extra creamy and makes these flatbreads turn out super yummy. If you can’t find it, just use a good quality regular mayonnaise and add more Bragg’s Liquid Aminos or soy sauce and rice vinegar to taste.

Sustainable And Healthy Protein From The Sea

Only about 10% of shrimp eaten in the United States are wild caught, and ours make up an incredibly small percentage that are truly environmentally conscious in every way. This makes shrimp an incredibly sustainable protein source to add into your diet, and there are many health benefits of these tasty crustaceans. Aside from offering a whopping 24 grams of protein per 100 grams of shrimp, they’re also full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. They’re a great source of magnesium, zinc, potassium, iron, selenium and manganese. They’re extremely low carb making them a great choice for anyone monitoring their carbohydrate intake. Shrimp are great for weight loss and packed full of nourishment and energy.

Fair Trade Certified Wild Caught Blue Mexican Shrimp

Wild caught Mexican blue shrimp are renowned for the excellent, sweet flavor and tender yet crisp texture. They’re large in size and have a beautiful blue hue when uncooked. They are caught using the most sustainable methods in existence for harvesting shrimp. Fishermen use small-scale sailboats and an artisanal technique known as suripera. This method involves using the wind and tides to skillfully drift a highly selective net, resulting in the lowest fuel consumption and bycatch rates in the world.

Bycatch is the term for marine animals, like dolphins, turtles and others, who are harmed in the process of fishing for seafood. Additionally, these are the only Fair Trade certified shrimp on the planet. It’s never been more important than it is now to choose seafood options that are conscious of environmental impact. Our sources go above and beyond industry standards taking care every step of the way to protect the oceans, the wildlife and their employees.

Ethically Raised, Delicious Elk Meat

Our elk live completely free range, roaming on 20,000 to 100,000 acre ranches. We source from two locations, one being the Rocky Mountains of the United States. The other source that fit our strict quality standards was an elk ranch in the pristine mountain valleys of New Zealand. They wander as they please, grazing and foraging as they engage in all of their natural instinctive behaviors. As with all of our meat, these animals are never administered hormones, antibiotics or steroids of any kind. Elk is some of the most delicious and healthy meat you can eat, considered by many to be the most heart healthy meat in existence. Chefs love using our elk for its delicate flavor and outstanding tenderness.
