Turkey Redux: Part 2

Our Thanksgiving dessert consists of three pies—key lime, pecan, and pumpkin chiffon. Key lime pie may not scream “Thanksgiving” to you, but our family used to spend Turkey Day in Boca Grande, Florida. Although we stopped traveling south in November about 12 years ago, we’ve maintained this tropical tradition. After all, Key lime pie is unconditionally delicious. It also cuts the autumnal richness of the other two pies. So really it’s a digestive.

Decipher these recipe cards to recreate the deliciousness.

Scoff all you want pastry aficionados, but we love Pillsbury Refrigerated Pie Crust. Not too salty, not too sweet, and not too flaky, it complements the rich pecan filling perfectly.
