Try Something Other Than Turkey!

Posted on December 01, 2024

If you are Party Planning for the Holidays, Turkey is an excellent source of lean protein, but not everyone is a fan of the famous holiday bird. So why not try another main attraction for your Holiday table? Catering Companies in San Diego are suggesting these other options:                                                                                                       

Baked Ham.    Ham might be the second-most popular main dish item to serve during the holiday season – next to the turkey. A honey baked ham will have your guests saying “What turkey? 

Chicken Breast. Chicken is another safe bet for non-turkey Holidays because it is a dish that everyone is familiar with. The breasts can be split, like the picture shows, and stuffed with your favorite stuffing.

Cornish Game Hen. Cornish game hen provides a solution to the Holiday overeating problem. With all the sides and dessert available, cooking a Cornish game hen instead of a turkey is a great way to avoid what I like to call Homer Simpson syndrome.

Grilled Oysters. Historians agree that some form of fish was probably on the menu at the first Holiday celebration since the New England area is abundant with seafood. So, it might be fun to serve clams or oysters as part of an “Original Holiday” party. You may want to offer this as a secondary item, though, since it will take a lot of oysters to satisfy hungry guests. Grilled oysters would be a great option for a small dinner party.

Prime Rib. Many families eat prime rib to celebrate special occasions, and since the Holidays are a special occasion, why not? Prime Rib will have your friends and family licking their chops before dinner is even served.

Whatever you decide to serve, your family and guests will enjoy the meal as they will be spending the Holidays with family and friends
