I want turkey, cranberry, stuffing, and a forkful that breaks all the food-touching rules in one glorious bite.

The trio didn\u2019t fight each other, but it did turn the experience into a protein-forward holiday platter (for better or worse) thanks to the inclusion of ham. I liked it more than I expected; still, it doesn\u2019t deliver the same nostalgia blast as the straight turkey.
