101 Thanksgiving Recipes
Ready or not, Thanksgiving will be here just three weeks from tomorrow. Crazy! To help you kick off menu planning, I’ve gathered all of the Thanksgiving-worthy recipes that are on the site and brought them here in one list for you. There are some breakfast (slash brunch) ideas, as well as tons of side dishes and desserts and drinks. I have a few appetizers as well, but I try to stay light (i.e. no heavy, cheesy dips) since the meal is so heavy and filling.
I’ll be sharing more Thanksgiving recipes over the next few weeks, but these should get you going and get your menu started!

What are your favorite Thanksgiving dishes? Any recipe requests?
Love, love love your scalloped potatoes. They aren’t part of our traditional Thanksgiving meal, but do show up routinely during fall and winter and possibly at Christmas with ham.
I use a little less thyme and add a grating (or pinch) of nutmeg. Delicious!
I would love to see how you cook a turkey!
Thank you for sharing! I’m cooking my first Thanksgiving dinner this year so this is SUPER helpful!
Thank you for this – I am definately bookmarking this page! We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here in the UK, but I will still be trying out some of these :-)
Thank you so very much for this wonderful collection of recipes. Your site is
a valuable tool and wealth of information. It is certainly my “go too” for food inspiration!
Happy Thanksgiving :>)
Super collection. Have saved many to try!
I think I should have a Thanksgiving dinner with the sides and desserts Oh and some bread. I could let the turkey bake while serving dinner so the aroma would be there and serve the turkey the next day with leftovers. The sides and desserts are my favorites. Leftovers are usually best.
Wishes for tasty dishes, Linda
Thanks for posting–I was already looking back at your lists from the past 2 years! Also I am looking for something to serve the teenage cousins that is falls such as apple cider with ???????? That is my request. Also one of my favorite things to make since 2010 is a Pumpkin Cheesecake by Warren Brown. I saw him make it on the Today show with Matt Lauer and Matt said it was “beyond good” when Warren asked if it was good after Matt sampled it. I have made it ever since! It is beautiful and delicious…everyone, adults and kids like it. It is a lot of work but to me it would not be Thanksgiving without it even though my mom still makes her 2 pumpkin pies and we have lots of other desserts. Even if we don’t eat it, it looks wonderful and we send some home with family. The video used to be online but this year I cannot find it. I loved watching it every year!
I just LOVE you for doing this! You have the BEST and MOST INTERESTING site. I always wait for Friday to see new photos of your precious son and how he is growing. Then, Saturdays are great as you always help me with meal suggestions for Sunday meals. I don’t know how you manage to change recipes daily, but I am grateful for all of your work and effort in making this site THE BEST!!!
Thanks so much for this compilation of recipes. It will be very helpful when planning my Thanksgiving.
This recipe couldn’t have come at a better time. What a wonderful roundup. Thanks for this.
