Kristin’s Thanksgiving Menu Must-Haves
Ever wondered what I serve at my own family’s Thanksgiving? Here’s our menu this year! These are my TOP FAVORITES that I serve every single year for the holiday.
- Veggie Tray – This is great for having out before the meal, but most people add some to their plate at dinner tmie, too.
- Turkey Gravy – homemade with the dripping from our turkey.
- Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes – I make these 2 days in advance!
- Garlic Green Beans – These are super quick and easy!
- Homemade Stuffing – I like to add dried cranberries to this one!
- Orange Cranberry Sauce – This is my daughter’s responsibility every year and she loves making it.
- Rhodes Rolls – Frozen dinner rolls get an upgrade with salty garlic butter and rosemary. So, so good!
FAQs
What do you serve with Thanksgiving dinner?
You’ve got the roast turkey breast, you’ve got the turkey gravy, but it can get boring with the same old traditional mashed potatoes and green bean casserole every year. That’s why I’ve put together this incredible collection that showcases the MANY different options you have to help round out your Thanksgiving feast. I can wait to try them all! Wherever you start, you won’t be disappointed with these Thanksgiving recipes!
What is the most popular Side Dish at Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving is THE food holiday of the year! Some think that the turkey is the star, but really, it’s the sides. The side dishes have always been my favorite part of Thanksgiving – from the sweet potatoes to the rolls to the stuffing to the green beans. Mashed Potatoes are my all-time favorite, and they’re one of the most popular Thanksgiving side dishes of all.
How many side dishes should you have at Thanksgiving?
Lots of them! Of course, it depends on how many people you will have at dinner, but the more options you can provide, the better. You want to have at least 2 of each type of side – 2 vegetable sides, 2 starches, 2 desserts. Make sure to include a variety of flavors and textures.
How far ahead can I make Thanksgiving sides?
Most of the dishes on your menu can probably be made ahead of the big day. Things like casseroles, desserts, and even gravy can be made in advance to save you time on Thanksgiving Day. Prepare the side and bake it or cook it through, then wrap it up and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 300℉ oven for 5-10 minutes, depending on the dish.
Before deciding to prepare a recipe in advance, be sure to read the instructions and any tips that may have been included to make sure you’re doing it safely.
What do you serve after Thanksgiving?
If you want to use up your leftover turkey, you can make Turkey Shepherd’s Pie or Turkey Vegetable Soup, or one of 25+ Leftover Turkey Recipes! I am usually looking for something lighter after that big meal so something like BLT Turkey Wraps, Caldo de Pollo Soup, or just a simple Air Fryer Grilled Cheese sandwich will do.
