Thanksgiving for Two
Thanksgiving doesn't always have to be a huge, elaborate event. It can be the perfect excuse to relax and spend quality time with your special someone. The simplicity of this menu, which includes no-fuss comforting fare like spiced pecans, stuffed turkey breast, and decadent pan gravy, ensures an anxiety-free holiday. Keep it simple; the most important part of a Thanksgiving menu for two are the two.
The Menu
- Jessica's Spiced Pecans
- Stuffed Turkey Breast
- Pan Gravy
- Sister Mildred's Creamed Potatoes
- Brussels Sprouts with Bread Crumbs
- Cranberries with Port
- Thanksgiving Twofer Pie
More About This Menu
If you have a favorite family Thanksgiving recipe, but you think it might be too much food for two, simply cut the measurements for the ingredients in half. Remember to adjust cooking times and temperatures accordingly.
The cranberries with port will taste better the longer they sit, so prepare them a day or two before the main event. Pie crust and filling can also be made the day before, then baked on Thanksgiving day.
Instead of buying ingredients for a complicated cocktail, sip on some of the port leftover from your cranberries with port; it pairs well with the spiced pecans.
Twofer pie is the perfect solution for a small crowd, combining the two classic Thanksgiving pie favorites into one: pecan and pumpkin.
