This Thanksgiving, you may be hosting a smaller gathering and looking for something different from a traditional roasted whole turkey. Or perhaps you’re simply looking to supplement Thanksgiving’s signature staple entrée with something different.

Here's inspiration below, from a boneless turkey breast roast with easy pan gravy to a butternut squash mac and cheese that steals the show. Read on to get cooking.

"This simple roast turkey tenderloin is a trimmed-down and simplified version of the full monty. It’s perfect for people who aren’t expert chefs or those who are having a smaller Thanksgiving celebration," says Dan Zehr of Platter Talk. "You can make it in well under an hour and at a fraction of the cost of preparing a traditional whole turkey."

Feel free to get creative and flavor with your favorite fresh or dried herbs. Though dried rosemary and sage are suggested below, Zehr says that tarragon, thyme, and marjoram also work well with this dish.

"Packed with flavor and plant-based protein, it's a budget-friendly meal that is quite easy to make. Vegetarian and meat-eaters alike love the texture and the recipe can easily be prepared a couple of hours ahead of time before the main dinner occasion," says Alena Schowalter of nuticiously.com, who suggests serving this loaf with roasted or mashed potatoes, gravy, and green beans.

"Boneless turkey breast roast is the perfect main entrée if you are feeding a smaller crowd over the holidays," says Olena Osipov of iFOODreal.com. "This method of stuffing the turkey breast with garlic, then rubbing it with fresh herbs is a nod to my Ukrainian roots where Mom cooked roasts the same way. They always turned out flavorful and this does, too."
