Mise en Place: Southwestern Thanksgiving Menu

If you are hosting the Thanksgiving festivities this year, perhaps you're feeling the need for a little twist on tradition. (Let's face it: the same old menu gets boring after a few decades.) Chef Mark has featured Southwestern flavors for our version, imparting the tastes and aromas he savored as a young lad. (P.S. If you have a smaller gathering than, say, Jennifer's eighteen guests, this is an ideal alternative to cooking a full turkey.)

Southwestern Thanksgiving Menu:
