Meal Plan for Thanksgiving Week (Group 1)

Thanksgiving Week
Notes for this week
Pesto freezes well, so if you would like to stock your freezer, adjust the quantities on the recipe and shopping list. Save the turkey carcass and about 2 cups of leftover turkey (dark meat is good for this) from your Thanksgiving meal to use for Turkey Noodle Soup on Day 5 Use your freezer stock of homemade biscuits or stock up if needed on Day 3.
