And when it comes to Thanksgiving, that means not being afraid to ditch the turkey — well, not ditch. Let’s say simplify. Cooking an entire bird — and the days-long prep leading up to it — is the most time-consuming part of the meal. But a 6-to-7 lb. set of turkey breasts still feeds 6 to 8 people. The turkey will be faster and easier to cook, you can tailor the pieces to your guests’ white-vs.-dark preferences (look for turkey legs if you’ve got dark meat fans), and you’ll save plenty of prime fridge and oven space along the way.
