"Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts" by Crystal Wilkinson beautifully captures Appalachian culture through comforting recipes, invoking nostalgia and a deep connection to her heritage.
"Here's the ultimate holiday leftover dish. I make it the way my grandmother did, although it's not like traditional hashes I've seen," Wilkinson shares, emphasizing the unique nature of her turkey hash recipe.
Wilkinson describes her turkey hash as not just a dish, but a connection to her roots: "Spooned over biscuits, it is the breakfast of sorghum kings and water witches." This illustrates the dish's cultural significance.
The recipe's simplicity, featuring common ingredients like turkey and Yukon Gold potatoes, makes it accessible while honoring tradition: "It's a way to use up your leftover turkey but doesn't require a lot of other ingredients."
