Thanksgiving Menu

A classic Thanksgiving spread with cozy sides and a warm finish.

A crowd-pleasing menu you can prep ahead and bring to the table with minimal stress. The turkey stays classic, the sides are rich and hearty, and the pumpkin pie keeps dessert nostalgic.

Why it works: this lineup balances tradition with ease. You can prep the gratin and potatoes in advance, roast the turkey while sides reheat, and finish with dessert that tastes like the holidays but doesn’t demand last-minute assembly.
