I’m delighted to unveil the newest, bloodiest episode of House of Horrors, our horrifically helpful home projects show. This time around we tackle the tradition of the family meal, and present a recipe that is a cheap and easy alternative to roast Thanksgiving turkey: A Turkey Meat Face!
Along the way we look at family meals from some of our favorite horror movies (Serial Mom, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Cannibal Holocaust) and of course have a silly good time. I’m joined for the meaty fun by cartoonist and illustrator Tim Piotrowski (the Glitch series, Kool Aid Gets Fired), who shares some helpful tips on working with very sharp knives.
We hope you enjoy and have a great Thanksgiving, no matter whom you wind up having for dinner. Click through the jump for the video and links related to this episode’s recipe!
Turkey Meat Loaf Recipes (a few – any will work, just adjust to be 1.5 lbs ground turkey):
And I got the inspiration for the provolone skin from the nuts at notmartha.org. Thanks!
Brilliant! I’m feeling inspired to make a vegetarian nut loaf variation!!
“Nut loaf” manages to sound even more sinister than “Meat face’!
love it!
That turned out awesome!
This would be a great project to do with kids. Another kick ass episode….well done, Brian and Andy!
Tim and Brian are the real stars this time. I just muscled my way into this episode.
Oooh, good idea – although it’s much harder to wrap a kid in provolone, isn’t it?
Thanks!
Very enjoyable. Aside from the facial features, sounds tasty, too. Reminds me of Meat Cake.
I appreciated the double entendres, and I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one who loves Serial Mom.
I love Humbert!
Turkey meatloaf is one of my favorite things to cook. I wrap mine in prosciutto of pancetta (thanks Giada de Laurentiis). Its amazing. It ends up looking a lot like roasted skin, so that might be a nice alternative to the provolone!
Hey everybody, it’s Thanksgiving Day! I’m enjoying my extra day off, and I am planning to make something fun that will probably involve a bike ride and seeing something new in Benton I haven’t seen yet.
