So, do you need to start planning your Thanksgiving dinner? I am always last minute planning, but why stress when you can have your whole menu planned out here. You have come to the perfect spot with these 18 Thanksgiving Recipes You Need to Try and your guests will sure to enjoy.
Let’s get started with all the Thanksgiving recipe ideas. I love to start with some great appetizers for our feast.
18 Thanksgiving Recipes You Need to Try
Oh boy Modern Glam made this amazing Charcuterie Board. I think I could devour this whole thing by myself. Thanksgiving is one of those great holidays that you can eat everything in site and it doesn’t matter. That’s why I’ll just go on my daily morning walks, to prepare for this yummy day.
Who doesn’t love a little Jalapeno Pepper Jelly to spice up their cheese and crackers. Happy Happy Nester made this cheese platter but with a little kick. This would be a hit at my house, as some of my kids love a bit of spice.
Let’s move on to salad. A Pear Goat Cheese Salad is right down my alley. Becky’s Farmhouse has made perfect flavors to compliment a Thanksgiving dinner.
You can’t go wrong with a veggie side dish, especially if it involves Caramelized Roasted Brussel Sprouts. This recipe is one of the best Thanksgiving recipes. Plus it is such and easy Thanksgiving recipe, and easy is always great especially on Thanksgiving.
We can’t forget about the most important part of a Thanksgiving dinner. The turkey! Do you want to learn How to Smoke a Turkey? Perfect for you, My 100 Year Old Home has this great recipe. Smoked turkey is so delicious it adds a whole depth of flavor. If you haven’t tried it, I would definitely do it this Thanksgiving.

You always have to have a Apple Cranberry Sauce. Cranberry sauce is just as important as the turkey. You cannot have a Thanksgiving dinner without it. Cranberry sauce is the best Thanksgiving side dish, so make you have it on the table.
I have got to admit one thing, and that is Thanksgiving side dishes are the absolute best. I made a yummy Thanksgiving Stuffing, but what I love about this is that my kids can make it. In the busyness of the day, having the kids help cook is very important in getting things done. So this is a great recipe that kids can cook. And here is an extra recipe that I forgot to include. Its our mashed potatoes with secret ingredients.
Let me tell you, I love a good old macaroni and cheese. Modern Glam makes this amazing Baked Macaroni and Cheese, a perfect side dish for Thanksgiving.
What I love about this Spicy Pear Punch that Modern Glam made, is that it is non-alcoholic so everyone can have it. A special drink on a holiday is a perfect touch to the dinner. It is something everyone can enjoy.
Some Homemade Bread is so yummy to add to a Thanksgiving dinner. It is actually not as hard as it seems, this is a easy homemade bread recipe. It also makes quite a few loaves, so you can make it ahead and even freeze it.
18 Thanksgiving Recipes You Need to Try
An Apple Pie Recipe is a classic dessert. It doesn’t get much better than an apple dessert. Now this is one gorgeous pie, My 100 Year Old Home has some beautiful decorating skills.
A Starbucks Pumpkin Bread, I want this in front of me right now so I could eat the whole loaf. Do you guys like pumpkin bread? I do! Pumpkin spice is a perfect flavor for Thanksgiving.
Yup another Apple Pie Recipe. Of course it is delicious because what apple pie isn’t. Homemade crust is what really makes this pie something else! Oh I have something else that will make your guests want more. Easy Creme Brûlée, it is one of my favorites and it is so darn easy.
Mason Jar Pies, now that is cute. I love this idea that Modern Glam has done. My kids would love this so much, having their own little pie to eat from.
It is the season for apple desserts, but I don’t mind one bit. A Mini Apple Tart is calling my name. Happy Happy Nester really does an amazing job with her desserts, I mean look at them.
I love a good Pumpkin Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. This is actually a easy Thanksgiving dessert, your guests will want want seconds and even thirds. Ok maybe not thirds because they will be stuffed full of all these recipes.
I’m going to be honest here. I had our 16 year old daughter make this apple crumble the night before this post went live and then I had to take the picture as it was dark outside but I think it turned out good. You can see the light crunchy texture of this dessert and it honestly was the best Apple Crumble I have ever tried. I am not sure why this was so amazing but I will be having the kids make this recipe more often. And then wait till grandpa tries it. I think he will be in love as he loves apple pie, apple pie and apple pie.
Thanksgiving is all about the food, so why not make it delicious. My Apple Crumble Dessert is one that is always getting compliments. A crumble dessert is a great Thanksgiving dessert. Or you can try Ashley’s @Modern Glams apple crisp.
Her Apple Crisp is a great way to end the evening full of wonderful food. These are 18 Thanksgiving Recipes You Need to Try! No matter what you choose, they will all be a hit.

Me too! All the delicious food!!
I’m going to leave another comment just in case my last one didn’t post, I’m concerned about that since I wrote comments on everyone’s posts and I’m only seeing a couple of them showing! First I wanted to say thank you again for this beautiful blog hop, to be perfectly honest I think it’s one of my absolute favorite pops! So many wonderful recipes and beautiful pictures to a company them, I’m looking forward to adding a couple of new items to my menu! Rhonda I love your linens and I think they are just perfectly beautiful! I’d also really appreciate the PayPal cash because this girl’s got to buy herself some closed-toed shoes living in CA we can wear sandals a long time, but I realized the other day that I didn’t have any closed-toed shoes LOL I’d also like to take my Hubs on a day trip if I could to his favorite lunch spot!
Hi Rhonda! This is such a fantastic blog hop, I really appreciate all the effort and time that everyone put into it to make it such a great and informative hop! Thanks for the giveaway, I’ve been commenting but they’re not showing up so I’m afraid that I’ll be out of the running but I’ll come in on yours and hopefully keep commenting on everyone else’s and maybe my comments will be seen after all! Your linens are gorgeous who wouldn’t love them in their home? That’s so sweet of you to offer them! Also, I was thinking that I could really use some of that PayPal cash to buy myself a pair of closed-toed shoes it’s embarrassing that I only have sandals! 😄
Thank you Dee this has made my day! Some close toed shoes might be a good idea ha ha!
3rd posting and now I feel challenged to make that apple pie! I would love the tea towels for decor and the additional fundage to help get kids home for the holidays ❤️
The apple pie is delicious!
l would love to win the tea towels!! so cute! nataliekysar@gmail.com
They are pretty cute!
Such great ideas! I love the fact your daughter made the apple crumble so hopefully I can make it too. =)
I also love pumpkin bread so I’m excited to try the Starbucks pumpkin bread recipe. Who can’t use a little extra cash during the holidays? I’d use some towards gifts and then treat myself to a few kitchen additions for myself ~ a pretty dish, kitchen tool, etc. The towels are so cute too! Thinking I would try to use them as part of a centerpiece if I can get creative. Happy Thanksgiving!!
That sounds like a perfect idea! Happy Thanksgiving
A feast for the eyes and for the stomach! I must remember to buy some fat pants.
The PayPal gift card would be wonderful to use to purchase some materials for handmade gifts for family and friends. Thank you so much.
Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Oh me too!! Sounds great Happy Thanksgiving

Forgot to say what I’d do with the cheese board 🤣. I would gift it to our daughters boyfriends mom for Christmas
Oh what a great idea
First time in over 30 years we’re not hosting Thanksgiving. I’ve been lost 🤣 Driving from Iowa to Boston today for Thanksgiving week. Spending it with our youngest daughters boyfriends family, the Dragon’s. Yes it’s gonna be a Bird Dragon Thanksgiving! How fabulous is that?! I will for sure be trying some of your recipes over Christmas 🙌💕
Wow Kim that is a long time you have been doing it! That sounds like it will be such a wonderful time for you and your family. Have a wonderful weekend my friend.
I would love to be able to try out your tea towels. How do they hold up to dirty kids hands? Or would I want to keep them up out of reach?
Hello Cherie
Thanks for stopping by. These will wash really well!
