Thanksgiving is here, which means that you\u2019ll soon be inundated with the holiday\u2019s traditional foods: turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and more. Yes, Thanksgiving foods are delicious and mouth-watering the first time around, and leftovers on Black Friday can still be enticing. But if you\u2019re anything like me, your taste buds might be craving something different by the time the weekend rolls around. That\u2019s why I\u2019m sharing the recipe I\u2019ll be using for some post-Thanksgiving culinary variety.<\/p>\n

I was first introduced to this delicious stew by Chef Joe Bastianich, and I have since adapted the recipe a bit. I make this dish on a regular basis because it\u2019s easy, delicious, healthy, and is ready to eat in under half an hour. Try it, and let it warm you up throughout the weekend. (And be sure to let me know what you think of it!)<\/p>\n
