A Collection of Thanksgiving Recipes

by Magnolia
Published on November 20, 2021

Thanksgiving is a time to sit across from family and friends and express gratitude—for each other, for the chance to gather together, for all the good things we don’t want to take for granted. And, of course, for the food. While a classic turkey may still be at the center of many tables, this holiday also gives us an opportunity to create dishes that bring new flavors and ingredients to share with the people we love. We’ve pulled a few of our favorite recipes—both traditional and unexpected—that will be right at home on any Thanksgiving table.
