5 Non-Traditional Holiday Meal Ideas

1. Veal Chops Milanese with Lemon and Herbs

Ask your butcher to “french” cut the chops for you so you take home clean meat that’s ready to prep and cook. This dish makes a beautiful presentation during the holidays!

2. Bacon-Wrapped, Smoked Tenderloin

Why serve up another bird for your Christmas dinner when you can wow them with a tender and flavorful smoked bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin?

3. Bacon-Wrapped Pork Loin With Cherries

Bacon-Wrapped Pork Loin is fancy enough for a weekend dinner party but (surprisingly) easy enough for a weeknight supper, and it’s perfect for the upcoming holidays!

4. Kale-and-Sausage-Stuffed Turkey Breast

This recipe is perfect for anyone who finds carving a whole bird daunting, but still wants tender white meat and flavorful stuffing.

5. Garlic-Crusted Roast Rack of Lamb

Roasted rack of lamb is a brilliant dish because it’s impressive and surprisingly easy to make. This recipe includes just five ingredients and 10 minutes of active cooking time.
