Whether you will be hosting a much smaller holiday dinner or are willing to try some new ways to liven up Thanksgiving, it’s a good year to revisit Founding Father Alexander Hamilton’s proclamation: “No Citizen of the United States should refrain from turkey on Thanksgiving Day.” On the contrary, from wild pheasant to turducken to vegan, there’s an alternative bird for everyone!
