There’s something about the combo of turkey+gravy+potatoes+cranberry sauce+string beans that is just meant to be together. These flavors are all part of a workforce to the point that it feels like there is imbalance without each one of them. 

Whenever I start a menu with a turkey (or more often a turkey roast) on any given week, the rest of the turkey partners seem to write themselves down on the paper in front of me and before I know it, the menu has planned itself. 

There is an art to being able to meld flavors and textures, sizes and colors to bring a complete meal cohesiveness and satisfaction. Applying this concept to any given week takes true skill, understanding in the kitchen and sometimes recipe research. And we know that the thousands and thousands of recipes on Kosher.com are the perfect starting point!
