A selection of recipes for your Thanksgiving table. Sausage and Sweet Bread StuffingITALIAN SAUSAGE & SWEET BREAD STUFFING

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Well almost.  We know with over 1000 recipes here on our site searching can be cumbersome. Heck, even I sometimes forget a recipe until I run across it. To help make things easier (because cooking for a crowd is stressful enough), we’ve compiled all of our favorite Thanksgiving recipes in one easy to find post.

We’ve included everything from starters to sides, the star attraction and of course sweets! Because we’re never one to do the minimum, we’ve even thrown in a DIY table scape project (easy enough for even novice crafters) and a few recipes to use with your leftovers for good measure!

Because bird is the word for Thanksgiving. We have a delicious mayonnaise roasted turkey (don’t knock it until you’ve tried it). IF a whole turkey is too much for your gathering, no worries, we’ve have an equally delicious roasted turkey breast as well as a stuffed turkey breast recipe below.
