All in one place, our absolute favorite Thanksgiving recipes, including what to do with your Thanksgiving leftovers! If you'd like even more inspo, here's our entire Thanksgiving category of recipes. YUM.
There are SO many recipes that I love for Thanksgiving, and every year admittedly we have a really hard time figuring out what to make without making way too much food. It's a really good problem to have.
I start with the protein, picking smoked turkey breast or Honeybaked ham copycat almost every year because they're both just SO good.
That said, here are some of my absolute favorite, year in and year out, recipes for Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving Cocktails and Appetizers
- Holiday Mules
- Apple Cider Bourbon Cocktail
- Dutch Oven Bread for cheese plates all week long!
- Marinated mushrooms (vegan and seriously delicious)
- Jalapeno corn dip
- Pimento Cheese
- Pimento Cheese Sausage Balls (make a double batch of pimento cheese, please!)
