About this Article

Once you've taken the obligatory slice of turkey, a dutiful spoonful of gravy and maybe haggled a bit over the dark meat, what you really want is more stuffing. More mashed anything. And definitely more pie. "Absence of turkey can be a very positive thing," says New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman, whose upcoming book is dedicated to learning to make do with less meat.
