New Year's Eve Dinner Suggestion (CarrefourSa Order)

Saying goodbye to 2022 at home with your loved ones or welcoming 2023 at home with your loved ones? If you will be at home on the night of December 31st, I would like to talk about a campaign offered by CarrefourSa.

It says "Mezzers are our New Year's Gift"

Frankly, it caught my attention that it offers different alternatives for every budget and number of people. Let's look at the four options together:

1. Stuffed Turkey

7-8 Persons ~ 1299 TL

1 kg chestnut rice,
300 g sauteed mushrooms,
250 g şakşuka, (A local mezze made with eggplant)
250 gr hot spicy dip,
250 g olivier salad, (It is known as Russian Salad in Türkiye)
250 g of haydari. (Similar with cacik / Turkish tzatziki)

2. Roasted Turkey (Half)

3-4 Persons ~ 799 TL

500 g chestnut rice,

300 g sauteed mushrooms,

250 g şakşuka, 

250 g olivier salad.

3. Roast Stuffed Chicken

3-4 Persons ~ 499 TL

500 g chestnut rice,

250 gr hot spicy dip,

250 g of haydari.

4. Turkey Leg

3-4 Persons ~ 499 TL

500 g chestnut rice,

250 gr hot spicy dip,

250 g of haydari.

If you want to make your mezzes, here are some suggestions:

1. Standing out with its hearty feature, Mücver can be a good choice for zucchini lovers. 
2. If you want to make an appetizer with dry beans as an alternative to salad, I definitely recommend piyaz.
3. If you can find Turkish yogurt, it's an easy and healthy option: Cacık.
4. Kısır is much more than an appetizer. For many, it can almost even be a main course. It is even possible to call it a vegan meal...
5. If you want to try a good mezze recipe with purslane, here is the right one: Purslane with Yogurt.

Bonus (New Year's Eve Boxes Alternatives)

First of all, I would like to state that I prepared this post according to the data available on the websites of both supermarkets. (07.12.2022) I also got the images from their website.

CarrefourSa

CarrefourSa has prepared two different products. The product it refers to as Basket (Sepet) is 459.90 TL and the other product it offers as a Package (Paket) is 359.90 TL.

The two images above belong to Migros, and the bottom one is CarrefourSa.
