Thanksgiving Dishes That Don't Compete for Oven Space

Written by Ocean Mist Farms. | November 18, 2020

Thanksgiving has always been such a special tradition in our family. We love any gathering centered around food, so it's no surprise that we love to dedicate a full day to all our family favorites, artichokes, brussels sprouts, stuffing with artichokes 😉. This year is certainly different, so instead of a large in person gathering, it will be small, but no less delicious!

Even so, there's still a marathon of cooking to be done to get ready!  I plan ahead though, getting as much prepped the weekend before to ease the strain on day-of and the highly coveted oven space. Between the turkey and from-scratch stuffing, there’s only so much oven space for all those delicious side dishes! When your oven is on overload this holiday season, reach for some of our no-bake favorites that utilize the stove top and our time-saving microwavable Season & Steam packaging! 

Cheesy Mac & Sprouts

I’m convinced there’s no greater way to eat your veggies than when covered in cheese! Jazz up your usual mac and cheese casserole with our Season & Steam Quick Cook Brussels Sprouts Halves. Ready in less than ten minutes, this decadent recipe will be the perfect addition to your busy day of roasting and baking!

Chef Tony Baker's Cranberry Fennel Sauce

We know when it comes to cranberry sauce, there’s nothing better than the real deal! With tangy notes of orange and spice from ginger and fennel, this Cranberry Fennel Sauce will definitely be the talk of your Turkey Day!

Apple-Cranberry Brussels Sprouts Medley

Enjoy the taste of fall with a medley of the best seasonal flavors. When the oven is just about as stuffed as the turkey, look no further than this sweet and savory combination of garlic-y Season & Steam Brussels Sprouts Shreds, cinnamon apples, and cranberries. This quick side dish might just become your new holiday party go-to!
