Thanksgiving, a smaller table
A two-serving turkey tray is the centerpiece. Beans and apple crisp stay full-batch: enjoy some tonight and save the rest.

Turkey already comes with starch and vegetables; a small portion of beans adds crunch, apple crisp a sweet finish. This is a leftovers-friendly menu, not three two-serving recipes.

- Bake the apple crisp earlier at its own temperature. Read the turkey recipe to check whether sauce needs preparing ahead.
- Prepare the turkey tray for two exactly as written. Do not shorten poultry cooking just because the table is small.
- Make beans near serving time. Check turkey reaches 165°F (74°C). Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in shallow containers. Allow 3–4 hours including dessert.
