Leftovers, Thanksgiving Dressings

Tonight make a dinner of leftovers and clean out your fridge. You’ll need refrigerator space as you prepare Thanksgiving dinner, and also to store leftovers after the feast.

Whether you’re cooking all or a portion of the dinner tomorrow, I’ve laid out the progression of the dinner preparations for the next two days.

Start tonight by making the dressing. If you’re going plant-based you won’t be stuffing a bird. The dressing gets cooked in a separate pan or casserole dish. Cook it tonight and simply reheat it tomorrow. It may require a couple of 9X13 pans.
