Does anyone have any quick and easy holiday recipes?

My inlaws are coming for Christmas dinner. I have a 9 month old so don't have a lot of time to prepare dinner. I can follow a recipe just fine but am not a great cook without one. Could anyone suggest some good recipes for dinner. We have the turkey planned out, but nothing else so far. We don't need sweets as they are taken care of. Thanks so much!Does anyone have any quick and easy holiday recipes?

Can't help you with turkey, I don't do fowl. Try www.butterball.com, they're the turkey experts. (Butterball Turkey)
I have a very quick recipe you can use as a cranberry like salad. It is delicious!


Mix a large box of any red jello( cherry is best.add 1 cup of hot boiling water and mix well. Add a 20 can of crushed pineapple, juice and all


and 1 can of cherry pie filling. mix all this together well. Put in fridge and let it set until firm. You can eat it as is or add cool whip or whipped cream to the top. I like it plain. Delish with turkey!!!
Hi since you already have the turkey, try Betty Crockers; garlic mashed potatoes, also the yam bake, Stove Tops; turkey dressing, McCormick even has the turkey gravy,(did this for Thanksgiving, quick and taste great, NOT LIKE HOMEMADE BUT CLOSE) Just add some of the juices frome the turkey dripping to the stuffing mix %26amp; gravy, and no one will know it package. You can also stuff your turkey with the stuffing. Hope this helps!!! Dont for get to open a can of cranberry's and make a large salad with the works(cucumbers, radish, tomatoes, ect)
Basil Goat Cheese Pizza





Ingredients-


1 (1 pound) loaf frozen white bread dough, thawed


1 tablespoon olive oil


salt to taste


1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper


1 sprig fresh basil, chopped


1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary


3/4 cup Italian tomato sauce


4 ounces crumbled goat cheese


2 sprigs fresh basil, chopped








Preparation-


Allow dough to rise in a covered bowl until doubled in bulk.


Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).


Roll the dough on a floured surface into a 15-inch circle. Roll the edges towards the center to form a crust, leaving a 12-inch circle. Brush the entire crust generously with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, 1 sprig of chopped basil, and rosemary. Bake in preheated oven until the crust begins to turn golden, 8 to 10 minutes.


Spread the crust with tomato sauce. Sprinkle with 2 sprigs of chopped basil and goat cheese. Bake in preheated oven until the crust is brown, and the pizza has heated through, about 8 more minutes.
