Canadian Thanksgiving is fast approaching and I have a guest who is allergic to apples and pears. Normally it’s not a hard allergy to work around, but I make a dressing to go with the turkey that has leeks, bacon and chunks of apple.

Last year I swapped pears for the apples and that’s how we discovered the pear allergy.

I have tried cubed up squash for a similar mouth feel but I didn’t like how starchy it ended up being when I tested that out a couple weeks ago.

Am debating doing a whole bunch of carmelized onions or pearl onions and bacon, but figured throw it to Reddit to see if there are other options for a similar texture / sweetness. Any ideas are welcome!
