What To Do Besides Turkey
Often feels like it’s assumed that turkey will be sitting front and center as the main course on Thanksgiving. Sure, it’s traditional, and the homemade turkey stock that follows cannot be beat, but it’s just one of so many great holiday options. It’s worth talking about, especially again this year as you may be forgoing the large celebration in favor of something smaller, or simply staying home with your family. Perhaps a big turkey is far too much food for a couple people, feels like too much work after what feels like cooking nonstop for the past several months, or maybe this is the year you’re simply ready for a new tradition.
