If you want the flavours of Thanksgiving but don’t want to cook a whole turkey, this one-pan Thanksgiving strata is ideal. It has all of the flavours, texture and ‘wow factor’ of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, but will leave you with time to enjoy the holiday. Don’t forget the cranberry sauce!

  1. You actually make it seem really easy along with your presentation but I in finding this topic to be actually one thing which I believe I’d
    by no means understand. It sort of feels too complex and extremely large
    for me. I’m looking ahead on your next submit, I will try
    to get the hang of it! Lista escape roomów

TIP

No turkey? No problem—substitute turkey with a rotisserie chicken! This recipe can also be baked in a 13 x 9-inch (3 L) baking dish or baked and served beautifully in individual 1 cup (250 mL) ramekins.
