I’ve gathered some recipes to help with planning for your Thanksgiving Meal this year. There some recipes for appetizers, vegetables, side dishes, 2 turkey recipes, homemade breads and four dessert ideas. Hope this helps! You can also look at the Thanksgiving Meal Ideas I posted from 2018 or last year’s ideas by clicking on Thanksgiving Meal Ideas 2019 or Thanksgiving Meal Ideas 2020.
Appetizers
The first appetizer is honey roasted nuts and can be prepped several days in advance. The other three appetizers can also be prepared early and baked when ready. Spinach artichoke cups are spinach artichoke dip baked inside wonton wrappers in mini muffin pans. Beer batter shrimp starts with seafood batter mix, and then pan fried and can be kept warm in the oven. Puff pastry sheets have a spinach artichoke mixture spread on top and rolled up. Then the pastry logs are sliced into pinwheels before baking.
Vegetables
Shake & Bake Cauliflower and Yummy Zucchini Fritters are both breaded and baked in the oven and can be made in advance, then baked before serving. Sheet Pan Oven Roasted Vegetables combine several vegetables that tossed with seasonings and baked.

Side Dishes
Pepper Jack Potato Casserole use shredded hash browns to help cut down on cooking time. The recipe for 4 Cheese Mac and Cheese has cooked noodles combined with cheeses and milk before being spread into a baking dish. The cheeses melt together in the oven while cooking. Homemade Stovetop Stuffing is a perfect recipe when you want stuffing but don’t have the oven space for baking. Don’t forget about previously posted stuffing recipes!
Turkey
Bread
All three of the bread recipes can be made ahead of time. Ricotta Parmesan Garlic Bread is a fancier version of traditional garlic bread that has ricotta cheese mixed with garlic butter. Pimento Cheese Buttermilk Biscuits used jarred pimento cheese mixed into biscuit dough before baking. Rustic Garlic Parmesan Herb Bread has garlic, parmesan cheese and herbs stirred into yeast dough.

Dessert
These four desserts include one pie. French Apple Pie starts with pie dough and apples, then topped with a crumble topping before baking. The Frito Snack Mix can be made several days ahead to save time. Double Tree Signature Cookie Recipe is stolen from the Double Tree hotels, because who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies? Pumpkin Bars are a pumpkin cake that is topped with a cream cheese frosting
