Just you and your special someone celebrating this year? This calls for smaller quantities of Thanksgiving dinner favourites including a flavourful Compliments Boneless Turkey Roast with Traditional Cranberry Stuffing, our Bakery Dept.’s pull apart rolls, tasty sides like this stuffed acorn squash, a quick side salad, and an easy Walnut Bread Pudding for Two to cap off the meal.
3. “Anything But Turkey” Thanksgiving Dinner
You like to give thanks but without the turkey on Thanksgiving. We hear you. We’ve got fully cooked, hickory smoked honey spiral hams, beef roasts, Cornish hens , salmon roasts, and even delicious chicken recipes if you prefer to keep the budget in check.
