How to Put Together a Micro Thanksgiving Feast 

Happy early Thanksgiving, everyone. I'm grateful for the tribe we have here. 

Depending on your comfort levels, your Thanksgiving might look a little bit smaller this year. But your love, gratitude, and flavors can be as big and bold as ever. 

Here’s how to prepare your MicroThanksgiving without being stuck with leftovers for weeks. 

Swap a whole turkey for turkey legs or a turkey breast

There’s no reason why you shouldn’t pile your plate with juicy roast turkey. But if you cook a whole bird for just yourself or a small group, you’ll have a lot left over. Cooking a turkey leg or turkey breast allows you to control the amount of food you have without compromising the Thanksgiving flavors you love. 

One big sweet potato is plenty for two

I cut mine into cubes and toss them with just salt, cinnamon, and avocado oil before roasting. If you like a little sweetness, drizzle on a little honey before you toss. 

Balsamic glazed brussels sprouts instead of bacon roasted brussels

A small group means less help with the dishes. Traditional bacon is great with brussels, but why dirty another dish to crisp it? Try this easy recipe for a sweet and tangy take on the classic side. You may end up loving it even more. 

Smaller scale desserts

Opt for individual dessert portions like cookies or these pumpkin keto bars (recipe video below) instead of making full-on pies and cakes. 

Final tip: Go ahead, cut corners

A small gathering means there are fewer people to join forces with. Look for high-quality done-for-you items to serve with your meal, like ready-made dressings and marinades.

Whatever you serve, include a side of gratitude

No matter how you decide to celebrate, be sure to incorporate gratitude into your day. Connect with the ones you love, if not in person, then by phone or Zoom. Nothing feels better than a great meal and feeling thankful for everything that's good in your life.
