All of our favorite Thanksgiving Recipes from Eazy Peazy Mealz all in one place!

Here are my favorite Thanksgiving Recipes:

Appetizers

When it comes to appetizers I like to keep it simple with a Cheese Board which it has something for everyone, requires no cooking, and is ideal for grazing on while you put the finishing touches on dinner. But I have included another Thanksgiving favorite as well.

• Ultimate Cheese Tray Recipe
• Caramelized Fig and Goat Cheese Bites

Soups

Soups are a nice addition to the table, and even better when they can be made ahead of time. These are two of my favorites to serve as they are simple but flavorful.

• Thai Butternut Squash Soup
• Tomato Basil Soup

Turkey

Turkey is the best part of the Thanksgiving Table, or at least the centerpiece, and I have a ton of few options for you, from smoked to roasted, as well as everything you need to know to get your turkey to turn out perfectly, how to brine it, and more. Trust me you want to check these posts out, in fact, one reader said, “Been making turkeys for 45 yrs. Have used many different methods and recipes. This was absolutely the best ever! The whole family agreed. Will use this recipe again next year. Thank you Rachel.”

• How to Cook A Perfect Turkey
• How to Brine A Turkey
• Juicy Roast Turkey
• Smoked Turkey – one of my favorite ways to get juicy, tender, flavorful turkey!

Potatoes

While the turkey might be my favorite part of Thanksgiving, I know more than one of my kids loves the potatoes best. And this year I am going to have a few options, from mashed to smashed and roasted!

• Perfect Herb Butter Mashed Potatoes- Guide to Making Mashed Potatoes

Rolls

One year my extended family did not make homemade rolls and I literally cried. Now I make sure to have them on the table, and to send these recipes to whomever is in charge. I listed these in order of my favorites, some are light and fluffy, some denser and heavier. Pick your style.

• Mom’s Dinner Rolls
• Simple and Quick Dinner Rolls

These green beans should not be overlooked, as they are another staple, and worth every bite. From the creamy and indulgent, to the easy!
