Thanksgiving Menu 2021 is here! Featuring a simple turkey recipe, a perfectly glazed ham, fresh twists on classic side dishes and a warm, cinnamon-speckled apple pie. This Thanksgiving menu is traditionally delicious all while adding new flare to beloved favorites. Let’s dig in!

Menu Inspiration

For this year’s Thanksgiving menu, I wanted to feature classic recipes that everyone loves, but with a spin! Especially with the side dishes. Green bean casserole gets a face lift with fresh green beans and a homemade mushroom cream sauce. Sweet potato casserole gets the addition of toffee-like and nutty brown butter. Mashed potatoes take the sideline as cheesy scalloped potatoes take the spotlight. A smoked ham gets basted with an apple cider glaze that makes it perfectly caramelized. And a turkey keeps it calm, cool and collected with a simple recipe and some liquid gold gravy to accompany it.
