Howdy, friends! 🤠 As Thanksgiving rolls around, we know that sometimes a big feast isn’t in the cards. Whether it’s you and a loved one or just a quiet celebration, 2 Coots Ranch has you covered with the perfect solution: a delightful Thanksgiving dinner for two featuring our delicious pieced-out turkey. Let’s dive into how you can make this holiday special with a smaller, yet equally scrumptious feast.

Your Thanksgiving Dinner for Two: The Ultimate Menu

1. A Thanksgiving Classic Made Easy

Forget the fuss of cooking a whole turkey—our pieced-out turkey makes your Thanksgiving dinner a breeze. With options like juicy breasts, tender thighs, and savory drumsticks, you can enjoy all the traditional flavors without the hassle.

How to Cook It: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the turkey pieces with your favorite herbs—think rosemary, thyme, and garlic—and roast them on a rack in a roasting pan. Baste occasionally with the pan juices for extra flavor. Roast until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.

A Thanksgiving feast isn’t complete without stuffing. Prepare a small batch of classic stuffing with buttery bread cubes, aromatic sage, and a touch of onion.

How to Cook It: Sauté chopped onions and celery in butter until soft. Mix with bread cubes, broth, sage, and seasonings. Bake in a greased dish until the top is golden and crispy. Your kitchen will smell like Thanksgiving!

Don't forget the sides! Mashed potatoes are a must-have, and they pair beautifully with turkey and stuffing. Creamy, buttery, and comforting, they’re a crowd-pleaser for any meal.

How to Cook It: Boil peeled potatoes until tender, then mash with butter, cream, and a pinch of garlic. Season with salt and pepper. For extra creaminess, you can also add a splash of milk or cream.
