How to scale down your Thanksgiving meal

Yet another holiday is on the way during COVID-19, forcing us to make adjustments. For Thanksgiving, this means the usual large gatherings are discouraged, leaving the question: how do I cook for a small group?

When you are used to hosting your large family, the idea of smaller portions is somewhat foreign. Here are some tips to help ease the stress while planning for a pandemic style gathering.

• Don’t buy a whole turkey; opt for a few bone-in turkey breasts.

• Pick your favorite side dishes, stick to those few, and half the recipe.

• Use a muffin pan to create mini-pies.
