Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it’s all about food. But its rising cost will make this year’s meal especially difficult for those struggling financially. With this in mind, I took on a challenge: offer an economical Thanksgiving meal that is always festive and full of flavor. While it’s easy to find affordable recipes for individual dishes, what can really make the meal expensive is buying lots of different ingredients for each recipe. That’s why I developed this complete meal – turkey and gravy (or cauliflower as a vegetarian alternative), sides, cranberry sauce and pie – from just 20 total ingredients. (And yes, that includes everything, even oil, salt and pepper.)
