An Asian-American Thanksgiving Feast

MENU: An Asian-American Thanksgiving Feast

For a Thanksgiving meal that starts out with wasabi deviled eggs and ends with gingery lemon mousse, Boston chef and baker Joanne Chang combines her love of Asian flavors and her husband's historic (he says prehistoric) New England heritage.

"We never had turkey on Thanksgiving," says Joanne Chang, "only duck. I love turkey with sage and butter, but I crave the flavors I grew up with." Here, she marinates and bastes the bird with soy, sesame, honey and ginger, giving it superb flavor and a beautiful mahogany color.
