Is it in a magazine or is it in a blog I've seen?
Is it in my recipe file or hiding underneath this pile?
Each night before I go to bed,
A turkey lurks inside my head.
What shall I cook? What shall I bake.
It had better taste good, for goodness sake!
I'm still not sure. I still don't know.
There's not much time left, Oh NO!
This is what I have so far...

My advice: less if more. For Thanksgiving, that is hard. But I think you can strike off one appetizer (chickpeas?), certainly the salad (enjoy the seasonal veggies on your menu instead). How about baked apples instead of a tartin?
It sounds delicious. You are getting there!
You are right about less is more..and I will definitely eliminate the chickpeas if there is a time crunch.
As for baked apples..to me they are geriatric food. My grandparents always ate them instead of dessert and I couldn't imagine serving them! Do you like them?
