I’m in charge of my family’s Thanksgiving menu each year, which, admittedly, isn’t that difficult of a task, given that our typical menu varies little from year to year (they like traditions!). This year, however, I’m really branching out. I figure, since it’s going to be a different kind of year, my Thanksgiving dinner can be different too. Give me all the interesting and new-to-me recipes that usually wouldn’t find their way to our family table. I can go back to our usual menu when we’re able to all get together again.
If you’re also looking for a little extra inspiration this year—maybe you’re hosting for the first time, maybe you’re planning on dinner for one, or maybe you’re like me and just looking for change—look no further than these 66 (yes, 66) recipes that would go beautifully on your table this year, no matter what else is on it.
