Here’s what’ll be on my table this Thanksgiving holiday! I usually just do the traditional turkey stuffed with onions, carrots, and herbs, but it’s time to switch things up a bit. I knew I wanted to incorporate honey into the recipe, so I chose this one from Back to the Cutting Board. Irresistibly juicy turkey coated with a honey Dijon glaze! Mmmm...
Stay tuned for the rest of my Thanksgiving dinner menu and Thanksgiving leftover ideas!
