Alternatives to Turkey for Thanksgiving.

I asked my Facebook fans what they serve for Thanksgiving. A large number of them don’t cook a large turkey for varying reasons. I saw the need to offer you Alternatives to Turkey for Thanksgiving as a result of that.

If you’re looking for a break from tradition this holiday season, try one or more of these delicious recipes.

Turkey may be the classic main course but that certainly doesn’t mean that you have to serve it! Maybe it is for diet reasons, maybe it’s because you have so many dinners to attend and get tired of turkey, or may you simply do not like turkey. A big bird centerpiece isn’t required for a festive holiday. Whatever the reason you prefer not to have turkey this holiday season, there is no reason you should feel like you have to serve one. I’ve curated plenty of alternatives that will make you and your guests just as enthusiastic.

Read on for those recipes, and even more alternatives to turkey for Thanksgiving dinner.

    We are staying home this year and it will just be the two of us. A turkey is way too big for the two of us (unless we can find a small one!) so we may do a chicken. LOVE these options, Paula!
