Talking Turkey with Actress Martha Byrne

The former General Hospital star, currently working on Gotham: The Series and mother of three, Martha Byrne opens up with Breezy Mama on her Thanksgiving traditions.

Where will you celebrate Thanksgiving this year?

I host Thanksgiving every year at my home. We have a large Irish family and we have a sit down dinner for approximately 35 people every year. My mother cooks the turkey and the stuffing –the best — and the rest of the kids cook the sides and the desserts.

Do you cook?

I LOVE to cook. I cook as often as possible. Since my family has a hectic schedule with school, sports and other activities, I tend to cook large dishes that I freeze to serve during the week. I’ve been getting more adventurous with spices and thinking outside my usual dishes, which has proven to be a hit with the kids. I can hide spinach in anything.

Martha's kids.

What’s your signature dish?

I cook a spinach chicken parmesan pasta dish that is simple and delicious.

What item can’t you live without on Thanksgiving?

My mother’s sausage stuffing. Unreal.

What are you thankful for this year?

I’m thankful every year for my family’s health and happiness.
