[quote=Anonymous]It's plenty of food. I assume you've checked with your guests for any specific items that they really care about - my family would totally revolt if I skipped sweet potatoes, but I know a lot of people don't really care about them. Turkey: I'm not a huge fan of just doing a turkey breast, because several of us really love the dark meat. But I have cut a turkey in half, roasted half for Thanksgiving, and put half in the freezer for another time. Bonus, it's a lot easier to cook that way without drying it out. Nobody in my family really cares about the presentation of putting a whole roasted bird on a platter. Salad: love, but only if it's an unusual / festive salad. Not looking for lettuce and cucumbers here. Something with citrus, dried cranberries, pomegranate seeds, etc. Otherwise I'd skip the salad and add a second vegetable instead: roasted Brussel sprouts with lemon, wild rice with cubed butternut squash, or roasted parsnips.
