RECIPES
My favorite stuffing is, of course, a Deb Perelman https://smittenkitchen.com/2007/11/roasted-stuffed-onions/
(Unfortunately, I no longer eat pork so I’ll just have to live vicariously through those who can)
Here’s a nice fall-y vegetarian side salad I like: https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/spiced-pumpkin-lentil-and-goat-cheese-salad-355212
A version of the cacio e pepe mac n cheese I’ve talked about

And another vegetarian side that isn’t exactly traditional but is very, very pretty and easy, if you have to make a side dish and you’re not sure what to make:
Quinoa-Roasted Beet Salad
1 cup prepared quinoa
2 large roasted beets, peeled & chopped
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained
5-8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (I always really hit the feta hard but if you don’t like it as much you can minimize)
¼ cup pine nuts, toasted (this is optional but it gives it a more fall flavor)
1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped (can do parsley instead if you hate cilantro)
2 Tbs mustard
¼ cup red wine vinegar
¼ cup good olive oil
Salt/ pepper
Throw the first five ingredients in a big bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, oil, and a little salt & pepper. Pour over the beets, etc and toss. Serve immediately or refrigerate.
HERE’S THE BEST ONE:
What to do with the leftover turkey:

You can double the amount of tomatillos and triple the amount of jalapeños in this, not add cooking water, and just use the base of this soup as a salsa.
FAVE MUSIC TO LISTEN TO:
Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring
