Ingredients: (vary the amounts for the number of people you will be serving)

fresh brussels sprouts, cleaned & halved
whole chestnuts, sliced (use the ones in the glass jar, much easier)Here is a vegetable recipe, to go with the turkey: 'Brussels Sprouts -The Italian Way' (the otherwise hated Thanksgiving vegetable, at least it was in my house!)

Great Cartellate recipe! My family from Atena Lucana in Campagna/Basilicata uses eggs in the dough, no wine, & only honey to drizzle. It isn't Christmas without them, & they called them 'Crispidella'. Buona Natale Everyone!
