A Thanksgiving Menu for One or Two

My suggestion for dining with one for the holiday is to make it elegant but simple. Use your best dishes and glassware, light a candle, and make those phone calls! The recipe for Herb Buttered Zucchini and Carrots can easily be cut in half using the same instructions but exactly half the ingredients. The Herb Onion Stuffing can also be cut in half. Consider asking someone else over for the holiday and ask them to bring dessert!

Herbed Turkey Tenderloin

1 lb fresh turkey tenderloin, cut in half lengthwise
1/8 t salt
1/8 t pepper
3/4 c pineapple juice
1 T chopped green onions
2 t chopped fresh sage or 1 t dried
2 t chopped fresh thyme or 1 t dried

Spray large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat over medium heat until hot. Sprinkle turkey with salt and pepper; add to skillet. Cover; cook 3 minutes. Turn turkey; add pineapple juice. Cover; cook an additional 5 to 8 minutes or until turkey is no longer pink in center. Remove turkey from skillet; place on serving platter. Sprinkle with the green onions, sage and thyme. Cook liquid remaining in skillet over high heat 2 to 3 minutes or until reduced to about 1/3 cup. Spoon sauce over the turkey. You may slice the turkey before adding sauce.
