With these handheld turkey pastry cups, you get all the fall flavor without the overwhelming effort. Making the filling a day or two ahead of time will make the day that much simpler, allowing you to have a turkey dish on the table and ready to enjoy in less than a half hour. And, for an equally delicious plant-based version, you can easily omit the cheese and switch out the turkey for a veggie ground.
Stuffed Mushrooms with Fennel and Lentils
These pop-in-your-mouth stuffed mushrooms are the perfect addition to your table. The combination of fennel with the lentils and mushrooms gives these bites a meaty taste, although this dish is completely plant based―and grazers may never guess.
Potato and Yam Stacks
Who doesn’t love a potato dish in the fall, the comforting starchy staple we all adore. These handheld stacks are a must-have for your holiday grazing table. While garlic and rosemary are a fan-favorite flavor combo, the addition of the balsamic glaze adds a hint of sweetness and tang.

The pecans, pumpkin seeds, and cranberries, along with the warming spices of pumpkin pie, pay tribute to classic autumn flavors. These bites can be made well ahead of time and stored in the freezer until needed.
