Thinking of PGEW about the last-minute Thanksgiving ideas

As I was typing up my latest recipe for Sweet Potato, Mushroom & Veggie Stuffing, it occurred to me that there may be some folks who are still scrambling for last-minute recipes for tomorrow’s big feast, just like I’m scrambling to do my last-minute packing.  So in honor of all of us who procrastinate, or for those who simply want to serve up something a little different either during dinner or the hours leading up to it, here are a few Turkey Day-esque recipes to help bail you out. Enjoy!
