When I'm cooking a thanksgiving meal, I prefer not to make the normal, traditional stuff. Maybe it's a result of some bad experiences with turkey growing up, but for some reason I equate the normal thanksgiving meal with drinking water while eating turkey that's way too dry. I've also never really liked that thanksgiving is a "put a dollop of ten dishes on your plate" kind of meal. I'd rather have one cohesive meal that complements itself well.
A few years ago, we reached out to the Twitterverse for some original ideas on thanksgiving traditional favorites. This dish is the best one we got.
