Looking for new ideas. My son wants to add something “fresh” “ healthy”
Our typical meal is
Turkey
Mashed potatoes
Stuffing
Gravy
Corn
Maple glazed carrots
But we are only a family of 3 (maybe 4-5 with a guest)
Any ideas?
My son and I tried for a turkey breast but DD20 has been making the Thanksgiving turkey every year since she was 10 so she Insists. We will get the smallest turkey we can findWe are only a family of 3 most of the time and no way am I making a turkey and big meal for just 3 of us- it would all go to waste as we really don't like leftovers, I could eat leftover stuffing but never left over turkey. We try to either go out for the holiday (this way everyone can order what they want) or just get a small roasted chicken and some vegetables on the side.

I'm no help. The world would come to a screeching halt if anybody in our family tried to alter our traditional holiday menus.
We do include some things that your menu doesn't though, specifically more vegetable sides and salads. Maybe try something like that? A broccoli/bacon/red-grape salad always goes over well, and a Greek salad is fresh and light. Substitute sauteed green beans with garlic and almonds or roasted Brussels sprouts for your carrots or corn and maybe that will make a difference.
ETA: Better yet, ask your son to come up with ideas for what he'd like and then coach him on how to make them himself!
