Thanksgiving Recipes with a Twist
Let’s face it: Most people tend to cook the same old recipes–turkey, stuffing, rolls, green bean casserole and mashed potatoes–for years and years on end. But why settle for the same old, same old? To switch it up this year, consider some of these recipes for a twist on your Thanksgiving.
An interesting spin on a sweet potato dish for Thanksgiving dinner, this dish contains a sauce made with sweet potato, rosemary and olive oil with a mozzarella and goat cheese topping. This quick dish is a excellent way to add sweet potato to your festive meal, but in a way that will have your guests saying “Can I get that recipe?”
Instead of serving just regular cranberry sauce from a can, use this easy recipe to add a little flare to your dinner. This recipe uses cranberries, persimmon (an edible fruit like a tomato), brown sugar, cinnamon, and orange juice for a unique taste at the table.
Go beyond basic green beans with this recipe that includes pancetta, onions, and olive oil and some salt and pepper. Once combined, you bake the dish until it is golden brown. It’s so good, you may not even have leftovers.
This recipe has a taste that stands on its own without gravy. After mashing the potatoes, you add cream cheese, butter, parsley, and ranch dressing mix, then put it in the crock pot and cook it on high for 2-4 hours.
If you’re tired of regular stuffing, try this recipe which exchanges regular bread for Hawaiian buns, then adds cornbread stuffing, sausage, onion, celery, apples, and chicken broth. (It’s also a great way to use up Hawaiian buns leftovers.)
People seem to either love or hate pumpkin, but if you are a pumpkin fan, these biscuits are the perfect way to add this Vitamin A-rich vegetable to your meal. First, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, then add the butter. In another bowl, combine pumpkin puree and Greek yogurt. Add the dry and wet ingredients and mix and knead the dough, then cut it into circles and brush with butter and top with a sage leaf before baking. You’ll have rolls to remember this Thanksgiving.
