Your Thanksgiving main course, simplified!

Whether you’re cooking for a full house or keeping it low-key, a great main brings the whole meal together. Turkey tenderloins are my go-to for smaller gatherings—they cook fast and stay juicy—while a whole bird roasted in a convection oven gives you that golden skin and “wow” moment. And if you want comfort food at its best, a classic lasagna al forno rounds things out perfectly. Here are five mains that anchor your Thanksgiving table beautifully.

Easy Juicy Turkey Tenderloin

Quick, flavorful, and perfect when you don’t want to roast a whole bird. These tenderloins stay incredibly juicy thanks to a simple seasoning blend and quick pan-sear before roasting. Ideal for a stress-free main.


Crockpot Turkey Tenderloins

Hands-off, set-it-and-forget-it style. Add the tenderloins, broth, and seasonings to your slow cooker and let it work its magic. The result: perfectly tender meat that makes great leftovers too.



Greek Roast Chicken with Potatoes

If turkey isn’t your vibe this year (or you want variety), this whole chicken is roasted with lemon, garlic, herbs and a tray of potatoes underneath that soak up all the flavor. Simple, satisfying, and elegant.



Cooking Turkey in a Convection Oven (Full Step-by-Step Guide!)

For when you do want the star of the table. This guide walks you through roasting a whole turkey in a convection oven—crispy golden skin, juicy meat, and shorter cooking time thanks to the circulating hot air. Perfect for the main event.


Lasagna al Forno

Pure comfort, baked to bubbly perfection. Layers of noodles, meat sauce, creamy béchamel and melted cheese make this a rich, cozy main—excellent for smaller gatherings or when you want an alternative to traditional turkey.
