Instructions

Notes
- Yield: This board is designed to feed at least 8 as a precursor to the main Thanksgiving meal. Your exact yield depends on how much meat and cheese you buy. Plan on 1 to 2 ounces each of meat and cheese per person, especially if it's a snack board that precedes a large meal such as Thanksgiving dinner.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
