Jamaican jerk turkey at Miss Lily’s

The Caribbean hot spot adds an island twist to the Thanksgiving entrée. After a 24-hour bath in a zesty orange juice brine, the turkey takes an overnight dip in a jerk marinade spiced with Scotch bonnet peppers, habanero chilies and ginger. The poultry is then cooked low and slow in the oven, with slabs of breast meat finished on the grill for a smoky flavor. 132 W Houston St at Sullivan St (646-588-5375). $25.

Happy Thanksgivukkah: Create your own hybrid-holiday meal

Mark the rare convergence of Thanksgiving and Hanukkah with a mash-up Thanksgivukkah meal of Mile End braised brisket, Momofuku’s apple-blondie pie and more.

This year, the first day of Hanukkah falls on Thanksgiving, and for the once-in-a-lifetime mash-up holiday, you need a celebratory feast worthy of both occasions. Before you light the Menurkey, stock up on festive, to-go Thanksgivukkah provisions like Mile End’s wine-braised brisket, Shelsky’s sweet-potato latkes and modern takes on apple pie. The next fusion celebration isn’t for another 70,000 years, so take no shame in indulging in second (or third) helpings.
