Here we are, in a time unlike any other, facing a vastly different Thanksgiving celebration than usual.

My own family’s traditional turkey-day feast typically ranges between 16 and 48 guests. My mother always used to host, but I’ve taken over the duty in the last few years. It’s always a tremendous potluck gathering of my multi-faceted family, full of steps- and halfs-, ex’s and friends and significant others, aunts, uncles and cousins. Not to forget the grandparents and grandchildren. And even, for a few years in the 90s, a cousin-in-law’s parents and his siblings and their families.

In my family, this is the holiday everyone flies in for.

_**But not this year.**_

This year we are doing our part to curb the pandemic by staying home and not mingling with other family pods.

And, quite honestly, I can’t see myself cooking up a whole traditional Thanksgiving spread for just the four of us.

Luckily, I designed the [“Holiday in One Pot” Glorious One-Pot Meal recipe](https://pt831.infusion-links.com/api/v1/click/5478257561567232/5411630865973248) just for times like these! This is the solution for when you’re _not_ hosting a multitude for Thanksgiving _but still_ want to enjoy the traditional meal.

As with every [Glorious One-Pot Meal](https://pt831.infusion-links.com/api/v1/click/6307217388208128/5411630865973248) recipe, this one is designed to feed two people, so simply double or triple the ingredients to feed a larger group.

If you can’t find turkey tenderloins, turkey burgers can be an easy swap without compromising the flavor profile of the meal.

Let me know in the comments if **_Holiday in One Pot_** saves your Thanksgiving table this year!
