While turkey is always the crown jewel of any Thanksgiving dinner table, sometimes it’s fun to shake things up a little. If you’re looking to do something different, then here are some turkey alternatives to try at your next Thanksgiving dinner.
Brown Sugar Pineapple Ham
Instead of turkey, consider preparing a juicy glazed ham. Once cooked, slice the ham and place it on the platter before topping it with discs of pineapple with cherries in the center.
Thanksgiving Cabbage
If you happen to have vegetarian guests, then this Thanksgiving cabbage is the perfect turkey substitute. Roast the cabbage in the oven and add some mushroom gravy for a saucy surprise.
Short Ribs
Rather than cooking a whole turkey for hours, you could consider roasting some succulent short ribs. Serve with some polenta or potato wedges.
