This Holiday Turkey Pie Is Perfect For Friendsgiving
On Thanksgiving, we give thanks to family, food, football and everything in between. Before the actual holiday, though, it's become increasingly popular to gather with friends over dinner because we're grateful for them too. When you want to kick back with loved ones, who has time for turkey? Get the main event and all your favorite side dishes wrapped in one with Holiday Turkey Pie.
