Before The Bird

What do you serve before the big, golden, juicy piece de la resistance, the Thanksgiving turkey?

It can’t be too big, lest it fill up all the Pilgrims. It can’t be too small because drinks have been passed and the meal was promised two hours ago.

Hmmmm… our perfect match-up would look something like this: crunchy crostini, creamy ricotta cheese and slivers of roasted acorn squash
