20 Thanksgiving Recipes for your Table this Year

Thanksgiving. I must admit, it’s probably one of my favorite holidays of the year. Outside of the Christmas season, it brings family together and on this day our family lives in the kitchen. Everyone loves to cook. Layer by layer, things are added. Place settings are laid out the night before. (There have been some hysterical moments with place cards as well. Like who sits next to who, who will drive conversation, what’s the appropriate etiquette, and who can handle sitting next to one another without a passive aggressive dispute during a meal. We almost reenact scenes from Parenthood when setting the table.) As time has gone on, paper turkeys are made by the nieces and we eat, eat, and then eat some more.

While many years have looked like this there are others where Friendsgiving looked like college game feeds (that’s right, one of the guys brought wild turkey), internationals enjoying their first Thanksgiving meal, and planning a feast for the masses (two years ago it was for 60 people). With this in mind, we wanted to share a round up of our all-time favorite recipes to serve this time of year, regardless of how you might celebrate.
