Thanksgiving Dinner Ideas for Two

Question

Staying away from family gatherings this year, but still would like to celebrate and have Thanksgiving dinner that reminds us of the wonderful flavors and smells. Would consider a small turkey or breast, but don't want too many left-overs. Any ideas?

Hi Joanne - I think a lot of people (including me!) are in the same boat this year. I've only got four guests - who have both white and dark meat preferences - so I am planning to do turkey parts. A turkey breast alone is also a great choice. If it's just the two of you and you'd like both white and dark meat, why not do a chicken? You could easily make smaller portions of  some "Thanksgiving-traditional" sides to make it feel more familiar. We've got several great roast chicken recipes on the website that are easy to adapt to your personal flavor preferences (their current flavor profiles are not terribly Thanksgiving-like). Hope that helps! Best, Lynn C.
