8 Whole Birds to Cook Next Week (That Aren’t Turkey)

Maybe you’re only cooking for two, you don’t have enough time, or you have a very small (and unreliable) oven. There are a lot of reasons not to cook a turkey on Thanksgiving. But even if you decide against it, you can still enjoy the tradition of dramatically serving and carving a bird at the head of your table. Here are 8 roast chicken, duck, and game hen recipes to serve next week if you just can’t even:
