Turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce – Thanksgiving is one of the few holidays that, for the most part, has a very established list of standard menu items.
But this year, why not switch it up? Shake up your dinner table with some of these creative alternatives to traditional Turkey Day dishes!
1. Instead of boring dinner rolls or biscuits, give your guests a sweet surprise with these message stuffed crescent rolls.
2. Give your normal salad a tasty twist with edamame!
3. Instead of mashed potatoes, try a just-as-delish healthier
alternative: Whipped Cauliflower.

4. Instead of slaving over stuffing, find out how to make the store-bought stuff taste homemade!
5. Forget using squash to decorate the table… how about serve up a steaming batch of butternut squash soup?
6. Instead of sweet potatoes, how about mini-sweet potato pies?
7. For those with dietary restrictions, make a gluten-free (and vegan) batch of cornbread.
8. Turn mac and cheese into the “Mac Daddy” of all side dishes with truffles and langostinos (they’re like lobsters).
9. Switch out regular cooked carrots for a curried version made with pistachios!
10. And of course, we can’t forget about dessert! But instead of pumpkin pie, how about some spicy stuffed pumpkin cheesecakes? Yum!
