The Holiday Feast
It doesn’t matter who’s around your Thanksgiving table; the important thing is that you’re together sharing special moments, a good laugh and plenty of delicious dishes. We have everything you need to craft the perfect menu—from appetizers to kick things off to shareable sides that are worthy of seconds. We even have alternative mains if you want to skip the turkey.
Turkey Tips
There’s no reason to be intimidated by the big bird. We’ll show you how to roast a giant turkey for your extended family or slow-cook a turkey breast for an intimate Friendsiving. Read through our turkey tips before you get started, and you’ll be on your way to a showstopping Thanksgiving turkey.
Thanksgiving Desserts
Save room for dessert! After the feast, take a breather to digest by taking a walk with your cousins, playing a round of football in the backyard or starting on round one of dishes. Then you’ll be ready to take one piece of everything on the dessert table, like pumpkin cheesecake, cranberry tart and pumpkin pie bars.
