Soybean Enrichment

Soybean meal, the primary protein supplement in poultry diets, significantly improves the nutritional quality of chicken eggs that are used so many holiday recipes, including this one. On average, a good, well-nourished layer reliably produces around 250 eggs a year for 2-3 years. This dedication to nutrition extends beyond our Thanksgiving table to the farms that provide the essential ingredients for our meals.

Feeling Thankful 

As harvest is coming to an end, we want to express our gratitude to our farmers this Thanksgiving who have put in long hours of hard work year-round, especially during harvest season. Their abundant harvest nourishes us throughout the year! Did you know that one US farm feeds 166 people? We are so thankful for our farmers!

This cinnamon streusel-swirled sweet potato casserole is sure to become a new holiday favorite. With its creamy sweet potato filling, cinnamon swirl, and crunchy streusel topping, it’s a delicious and comforting addition to your Thanksgiving feast. Your guests will be asking for seconds, so make sure to prepare plenty!

Enjoy the warmth and flavors of this delightful dish with your loved ones this November. It not only tantalizes your taste buds but also pays homage to the dedication and passion of our farmers. Happy Thanksgiving!

Ingredients

Streusel

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or a dish slightly smaller (no less than 2 quarts).
  2. Poke a few holes in the sweet potatoes and bake for 1 hour or until soft and tender. When the sweet potatoes are cooked, slice them in half and allow to cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  3. Peel the skins away from the sweet potatoes and mash well in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, heavy cream, butter, and eggs, mixing until combined.
  4. To make the streusel. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Add 6 tablespoons butter and use your fingers to mix the butter into the flour until a crumble forms. Stir in 1/4 cup maple syrup and the walnuts.
  5. Pour half the sweet potatoes into the prepared dish. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the streusel. Spread the remaining sweet potatoes over top and sprinkle the remaining streusel evenly over the top of the sweet potatoes. Transfer to the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the top is dark golden.
  6. Meanwhile, in a small sauce pan, brown the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in the remaining maple syrup.
  7. Just before serving, drizzle the browned maple butter over the casserole. Serve warm.
