Thanksgiving Dinner for 2

Growing up, Thanksgiving at my grandmothers' and aunt's Nebraska farm was about more than just the food-it was about the connection and traditions shared around the table. This collection of Thanksgiving recipes pays homage to those cherished moments, offering a small-batch feast perfect for two. From a perfectly seasoned turkey breast with stuffing to a wild rice soup that makes the most of your leftovers, every dish is inspired by the flavors of a farm kitchen. With easy-to-follow instructions and a guide to help you plan your day, you'll enjoy a stress-free, delicious holiday meal that captures the heart of Thanksgiving on the farm.
