It’s hard to cook for two people on a regular day without tons of leftovers, but holiday cooking is especially hard for a party of two. Matt has to work the day after Thanksgiving, so we decided to stay in Columbia for this holiday. My mom always cooked a Martha Stewart worthy turkey with all the traditional fixings every year with plenty of leftovers. (There’s nothing better than a turkey and stuffing sandwich the day after Turkey Day.) This being the first year that the meal preparations are up to me, I was a little uneasy about the daunting task of selecting, prepping, and cooking my very own bird. So I came up with the perfect solution to order a fully cooked Greenberg Smoked Turkey. These birds get rave reviews and this way we will still have a yummy Turkey Day dinner and enough leftovers for two without the hassle.
With the main course out of the way, I can focus on some yummy side dishes. I decided to keep it simple to save time and to reduce the amount of leftovers. This is what I’m thinking:
- Mashed Potatoes and Gravy (of course!)
- Green Beans
- Mama Caccia’s stuffing
- Cranberry sauce (we prefer the canned version)
- Pumpkin or Apple pie (Haven’t decided yet, but we might have BOTH!)
An early HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all our family and friends!
You will not be sorry about that Greenberg! They are absolutely delicious. Jonathan's family has them every year, and now I miss it when we're with my family for the holidays!
