Our favorite thing about this recipe is (of course) how easy it is. With all of the meal planning, perfect timing and entertaining guests, we LOVE that this can be made the night before, letting all the flavors soak in and combine together overnight. Then on Thanksgiving, all you have to do is pop in the oven for a quick reheat. There's always the option to serve immediately as well.
