Thanksgiving Recipes

If you are hosting Thanksgiving and need some recipe ideas, this is the blog for you. It can be very overwhelming if you are searching online because there are so many recipes to choose from. I have done the research for you and narrowed it down to the top Thanksgiving recipes, so look no further!

I have gathered these recipes from some of the best cooks and they were willing to let me share them with you on my blog!!!

The recipes are divided into sections for Appetizers, Main Courses, Sides, Desserts and even a couple Signature Drinks for easy viewing and organization.

To see the list of Thanksgiving recipes, see the list at the end of the blog!

Appetizers

For appetizers, I try to go light. Thanksgiving meal is such a large meal that I don’t want the guests to get full before dinner! I always make sure that the appetizers do not need to be heated up as most ovens and stove tops are being occupied that day.

I always make sure to have a meat and cheese platter, some sort of vegetable appetizer and then one or two additional simple recipes. Below are a couple ideas for you to try!

Main Course

For the main course, I always have at least two options, Turkey and Ham for the meat eaters and a Pasta Dish for the vegetarians and/or vegans.

Pumpkin Pasta

For those of you who do not eat meat, get this pumpkin pasta sauce and pour it over some pasta. It is super easy to make and so so delicious!

Sides

For the sides, I always like to have to have stuffing, sweet potatoes, potatoes, a few vegetable options, mac and cheese for the kids (and adults😊), a cranberry gelatin mold and some dinner rolls. This way, there is enough variety for everyone.
