My thoughts:

Over the years I convey done thus many versions of Thanksgiving meals. I've done everything from pomegranate-themed to Hawaiian (complete amongst Pineapple-infused Turkey together with Spam-Hawaiian Bread Stuffing) to Polish (with kielbasa-rye stuffing) to Thanksgivukkah and a ton in between! Normally I convey a fauxgiving inwards Oct to produce recipes to percentage but this twelvemonth my married adult man has been busy amongst schoolhouse together with beingness a chair inwards an charitable arrangement planning its ain Thanksgiving upshot that I couldn't carve out a whole solar daytime to devote to Thanksgiving.

I finally had the persuasion to brand a dinner for two! After all, nosotros are a household unit of measurement of 2 together with piece I convey made a large dinner nearly every 1 of the finally xiii years I've had this blog, nosotros convey exclusively made guests 1 time or twice for fauxgiving together with instead concentrated on using the leftovers to produce dozens of Thanksgiving leftovers recipes. I only didn't convey that variety of fourth dimension this year!

I wasn't certain how to gear upwards nigh doing a Thanksgiving for 2 but together with then OXO offered to post me a canvas pan dinner kit together with I saw what it included, I knew it was destined to endure a canvas pan Thanksgiving. They sent a silicone roasting rack, a meat thermometer (amazingly I didn't convey 1 that worked together with commonly only roast until the juices run clear together with the leg wiggles which doesn't piece of job amongst a turkey breast) a crazy flavor injector amongst 2 dissimilar sized needles, a rimmed baking canvas aka a one-half canvas jelly whorl pan and an amazing looking gravy separator that I didn't locomote to operate because the pectus was likewise lean. I'm non beingness paid yesteryear OXO inwards whatever agency but these items certain did come upwards inwards handy!

Since I'm a Baltimorean for life, I came upwards amongst the persuasion of doing an Old Bay injected turkey sort of similar the Cajun injected turkeys they convey inwards Louisiana but amongst a Maryland twist. Before my married adult man moved to Baltimore, he had exclusively used Old Bay on chicken thus using it on turkey seemed perfect. It was fun injecting the turkey together with the turkey did come upwards out rattling moist together with flavorful thus I highly recommend trying it out!

I ever brand "un-stuffing" for Thanksgiving--my household unit of measurement ever pose stuffing around the turkey vs inwards the turkey (we are all rattling nutrient poisoning-phobic) but never inwards a dissever pan every bit "dressing". This agency the turkey juices flavor the stuffing but it doesn't tumble out the turkey from coming to the right temperature. Stuffing balls are perfect for a canvas pan dinner.

Finally, I cooked some root vegetables on the pan. You tin vary them if y'all want, but if y'all desire everything to endure done at the same time, y'all necessitate to pick ones that volition produce at the same charge per unit of measurement thus turnips, carrots together with potatoes are the perfect choice. I know turnips aren't likewise pop hither but they should be, they convey a overnice peppery flavor together with high inwards vitamin C.

This repast easily serves 2 people amongst lots of leftovers or 4 people amongst piddling to no leftovers, perfect for a smaller family. Plus it actually is done inwards 2 hours. I did all of the chopping together with stuffing making piece the turkey was inwards the oven (though y'all could cube the vegetables together with brand the stuffing ahead of fourth dimension together with allow both to come upwards to room temperature earlier cooking). I did serve it amongst some sauerkraut but that is, of course, upwards to you.
