These budget-friendly recipes won’t be a recipe for disaster at Friendsgiving.
Whether you’ve decided to bail on expensive and high-pressure holiday travel plans or have had enough tense political arguments for one lifetime, there are plenty of reasons to go the non-traditional route of hosting Friendsgiving.For those unfamiliar, Friendsgiving is exactly what it sounds like: an assembly of friends and/or neighbors for a Thanksgiving celebration where few, if any, of the participants are bonded by blood.
It’s a real simple recipe: Prepare a tray of turkey stuffing, a dish of mashed potatoes, and a saucepan of brown gravy. Then, break out a package of Hawaiian rolls, which you can open into halves. Lastly, place a small amount of stuffing, mashed potato and gravy on each of the rolls, and voila! You’ve got yourself some delicious sliders stuffed with the sides everyone knows and loves, now punctuated with the sweet and moist benefits of the Hawaiian roll that houses them.
To properly make a Pilgrim Pizza, one must decide if they want something sweet or something savory. If they want something on the sweeter side, cover some pre-baked pizza dough with a cranberry sauce spread, and top it with some candied yams and mini-marshmallows to transform your Friendsgiving contribution into a must-try desert for all of your guests.
If you’re going with the boxed mix route , then making these mini-muffins should be simple: Just add dried cranberries to your standard mix and cook in a muffin pan according to the instructions. But to stick to the Friendsgiving theme, we have to make sure these munchable delights fit with the visual theme of the holiday, so once they’ve cooled, go ahead and top them with vanilla frosting and a tiny bit of chocolate syrup to emulate the look of mashed potatoes and gravy atop cornbread stuffing.
Trading mashed potatoes for seasoned roasted potatoes, this crackling creation is fairly easy to put together, as you would proceed in the same way you’d cook any omelette, just with turkey and potatoes in the mix.
In case you’ve never made one, the BLT is all in the letters: Besides the turkey bacon, you can toss lettuce, tomato, and turkey onto a pair of rye bread slices. And as one final twist on an old standard, you can make this affordable and crunchy BLT with ranch dressing as opposed to mayonnaise stand out among your Friendsgiving guests.
A delicious upgrade to the traditional Thanksgiving favorite of Pumpkin Pie, this mix between pumpkin pie and cheesecake can turn from a no-bake dessert to a delicious, dunkable option when presented alongside either cinnamon pita chips or graham crackers, depending on your specific taste palate. If you’re lucky, there just might be enough left over to take home for extracurricular seasonal dipping.
It might not be the prettiest or most ornate Friendsgiving offering, but you won't have to worry about anyone being disappointed by this basic delight. A Thanksgiving-themed improvement on the PB&J formula, this one trades out peanut butter for the ever-controversial seasonal dessert of candied yams while adding cranberry jelly or jam and marshmallow fluff atop of white toast.
It's not exactly a secret that, on occasion, turkey can be a fairly expensive poultry item, which is partly why some people's entire annual turkey consumption falls on Thanksgiving. Luckily, tradition plays a little more fast and loose with Friendsgiving, and this is where this unlikely and super simplistic dish comes to the rescue for those not looking to break the bank this year.
