Thanksgiving Menu
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.
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.
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.”
