Thanksgiving Recipes

You probably already have the T-day menu planned, but plans can change (ours did), or maybe you're just undecided. A couple of recipes on this site are getting lots of hits recently due to, I'm sure, frantic recipe searches, so I figured I'd make a post of a few of the most Thanksgiving appropriate recipes on M&C.
Balsamic-Braised Cipolline with Pomegranite - I wish these were on this year's menu.
Sweet Potato Biscuits - mmm.
Soy and Seitan Turkey - tips on Bryanna's recipe, which is on this year's menu.
Bourbon Walnut Sweet Potato Mash - skip the experiment part and go straight to the recipe.Copper Pennies - a simple, but irresistible side.
Raw Beet Salad - no cooking!
Apple-Cranberry Pie - made this last Thanksgiving and it was fab.
Rustic Rolls - carb load.

What's on our menu? Well, after our small gathering shrank to just the two of us, we nixed the baked brie, pecan pie, mashed potatoes, and salad greens topped with dried cranberries, pepitas, roasted beets, and roasted squash. We're keeping the soy and seitan turkey (already made it), my grandmother's cornbread dressing (cornbread's ready to go), nutritional yeast gravy, cranberry sauce (cranberries and oranges finely chopped and left raw, with spices and sugar), sweet potato souffle (my fav), brussel sprouts, and pumpkin pie (already ordered from MANNA). Very traditional.

Happy eating, whether it's take out or home made, amongst dozens or alone.
