Thanksgiving Dinner Cabbage Cups
Think of this appetizer as all of Thanksgiving in one single bite. Ok, perhaps not all of Thanksgiving (insert family and friends and non-food traditions here), but they do come close! These cabbage cups can be made up to 2 days in advance and set out as an appetizer to stave off guests from picking at the main bird. Serve with fresh cranberry sauce (see above recipe), and feel free to walk about your holiday party with a tray of these because people love food on trays.
