Anyone have an entrée idea for a large group of people that is NOT pasta/sauce, casserole or a turkey?

Posted by Diva (aka Diva) Nov 16 '21, 07:15

I usually do chicken piccata, but I'm looking to do something different this year. I already have sides in mind to make, but need the main. TIA

I agree with Jambalaya or taco bar. Or some sort of tray bake or charcuterie board. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 16, 07:54 1
- Put me down for Taco bar as well. It's fun, easy, and different from Thanksgiving. - Volnelk Nov 16, 08:13
Jambalaya -- nm - prayformojo Nov 16, 07:39
Portillo's Italian beef sandwiches :) -- nm - oblique Nov 16, 07:33
also - this would be the dinner for everyone the day before T-Giving. So I'm not trying to go crazy gastronomically if that makes sense... - Diva Nov 16, 07:25 9
- These are great ideas folks, thanks so much! -- nm - Diva Nov 16, 07:43 1

- Big pot of soup, fresh baked bread -- nm - rollo Nov 16, 07:33 1
  - This would work as well. -- nm - spamlet Nov 16, 07:37
- So the filet roast is definitely out. :) -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 07:30

  - taco bar, yum -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 07:47
Jambalaya. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 16, 07:24
If you like mushrooms and dijon I have a killer beef tenderloin recipe that has the added benefit of being easy peasy -- nm - rollo Nov 16, 07:23
Paella! -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 16, 07:19
Asian perhaps. A rice dish? -- nm - budice Nov 16, 07:17
Beef tenderloin roast? -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 07:16 10
- Okay moneybags. -- nm - Shaun Nov 16, 07:32
- Yeah I was thinking some sort of pork tenderloin. How many people? -- nm - spamlet Nov 16, 07:19 8
  - this is probably what I would do -- nm - decline Nov 16, 07:21
  - Pork would be cheaper, for sure. - znufrii Nov 16, 07:21
  - 12-ish? -- nm - Diva Nov 16, 07:20 5
    - Anyone that you know have dietary restrictions that would exclude pork? - spamlet Nov 16, 07:26 1
      - Yes. I will make chicken or fish for her on the side. -- nm - Diva Nov 16, 07:42
    - small roast pig -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 07:24 1
      - Yup, Google kahlua pig near me, there's usually an islander restaurant, caterer that can roast a whole one for 150 or so -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 16, 11:05
    - Might be better off with pork then, unless you want leftovers. -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 07:22
