The side dishes are just as important as the main dish for any turkey dinner feast. A holiday meal, while a lot of work, is actually easy to prepare with great recipes and lots of planning! The recipes below include Thanksgiving sides that will impress your guests from classic/traditional (like mashed potatoes and gravy) to space-saving crock pot versions and fun twists on the usuals!
Classic Thanksgiving Dishes
What are the most popular side dishes at Thanksgiving? These classic sides are staples that have been gracing our grandmother’s tables for years… and are now on our tables too!
Traditional Thanksgiving Side Dishes
Traditional side dishes for thanksgiving are the staple of our meal. While we love to add in unique and delicious dishes, the traditional dishes in this list cannot be missed.
Potato Side Dishes
Potatoes are the perfect starchy side dish and one of the best vehicles for all of that delicious gravy. While we traditionally make mashed potatoes, the options are truly endless.
Vegetable Side Dishes
You’ll have no problem getting kids (or adults) to eat their vegetables. I love the pop of freshness vegetables add to a typical turkey dinner!
Green Bean Side Dishes
Green bean casserole is one of my all time favorite side dishes but I’d gladly add any of these favorites to my menu!
Sweet Potato Side Dishes
Stuffing Recipes
No thanksgiving meal would be complete without a scoop of stuffing on the side (and it’s my personal favorite thanksgiving side dish). Any of these can be cooked in the bird or in a casserole (which is the difference between stuffing and dressing).
Casserole Sides
Macaroni and cheese is a thanksgiving side dish but it’s not the only casserole to add to your turkey dinner table! These easy favorites can be made ahead of time and baked just before serving!
Other Favorite Side Dishes
It doesn’t end there… deviled eggs, fluff salads, breads, rolls. All of them are a welcome addition to your holiday feast.
