The turkey might be the star of the show this holiday, however, it’s not the only food item that gets Southwest Floridians excited. It’s what accompanies the big bird every year that has mouths salivating. Here are 5 delicious side dishes for Thanksgiving that will leave your guests wanting more.
Every family has their Thanksgiving traditions. Not everyone cooks a turkey. Some families cook several turkeys using a different method for each. Regardless of whether you cook turkey, a leg of lamb or a plant based tofu turkey, filling the table with lots of sides is an important part of giving thanks.
About Side Dishes For Thanksgiving
Side dishes for a regular evening or weekend meal are usually thoughtfully planned to integrate flavors and themes. But at Thanksgiving, all rules and common sense food pairings are thrown out the window.
It’s a free for all and it’s one reason this meal is so beloved. Sure there are staples and they vary from house to house. If you are like me, there are some that are non-negotiable. If they are absent the meal seems incomplete regardless of how much is on the table.
However, I’m always looking for something new to try. It might be a new spin on an old favorite or something that is completely different from what I’ve made in the past.
Since we are on the countdown to Thanksgiving, my social media feeds are starting to fill up with food. It’s getting me excited to sit around the table this year with family and friends and try a couple of these dishes. I threw in a bonus appetizer at the end.
