If you’re anything like me, you might have waited until the very last minute to put a Thanksgiving Dinner together. These Thanksgiving Dinner Recipes can help you get through this holiday without a hitch!
Have you ever cooked Thanksgiving dinner before? Maybe you’re just like me and plan a little late. I’m hoping that having all the recipes you’ll need in one place will help you out tremendously!
We have turkey, veggies, potatoes, pasta, eggs, dessert, some fun for the kids and some thankful devotions.
Thanksgiving Dinner Recipes
Holiday Ham Recipe
Not everyone cooks ham on Thanksgiving, but we do. I like ham much more than I like turkey. My ham recipe falls of the bone. It’s the best ham you will ever have the pleasure of eating.
Turkey and Gravy Recipe
My Thanksgiving Turkey is juicy and tasty. The best part though really is how easy it is to cook! My gravy recipe is one handed down to me from my Grand MIL! It’s the best!
Giblet Gravy Recipe
My Giblet Gravy Recipe is one handed down to me from my Grand MIL! It’s the best!
Double Stuffed Cornish Hens
These Stuffed Cornish Hens are perfect if you don’t have many people coming to dinner, or if you’re putting together a small Friendsgiving!
Baked Macaroni & Cheese
A great side dish to have for those picky eaters!
Several Turkey Stuffing Recipes For Thanksgiving Dinner
A yummy recipe for Gluten Free Turkey Stuffing. This recipe uses cornbread, and it’s fantastic!
Sausage Stuffing Recipe
My favorite is this Sausage Stuffing Recipe. It’s one of the best Thanksgiving Dinner Recipes in this whole list!
5 Holiday Stuffing Recipes
I have a couple more stuffing recipes in this post.
Au Gratin
Thinly sliced potatoes, smothered in cheese!
Every dinner party should have a great potato dish. I love Au Gratin potatoes, because they are simple to make but really so yummy!
Green Bean Casserole
Green bean casserole is a family favorite and a must have at the Thanksgiving dinner table!
French Fried Onions
Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs are a must for every Thanksgiving table. This is a true family favorite recipe.
Potato Salad
This is a family recipe, that we have been using for many years. It is simply the best potato salad ever!
Christmas Crack | Chocolate Toffee
Some people call this Christmas crack, but I call it chocolate toffee. The ingredients are very basic, but believe me people nicknamed it Christmas crack for a reason!
You could make this any time of the year though, it’s so good and easy to make!
Mulled Wine
This makes a great hostess gift! This is an adult beverage.
Appetizer tray *optional my family usually put pickles, cucumber, celery, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli on a tray, and add your favorite dip!
Gifts For Chicken Lovers
Do you know a chicken lover? Christmas is coming soon, make sure you grab something for the crazy chicken lady/guy in your life!
Gifts for Homesteaders
Get your spouse or homesteading friends a gift this holiday!
Christmas is right around the corner, the trees will go up the day after Thanksgiving typically. Make sure you’re prepared with Holiday Gifts For Homesteaders!

Thank you for the inspiration and tips! Yes I am usually the one to cook a big holiday meal. I am not sure I am ready for it this year!
Homestead Wishing
I am definitely not ready for it this year. This year has flown by. I love this time of year but seriously it is coming too soon!
Robin Rue (@massholemommy)
I host Thanksgiving dinner every year. I love having everyone over.
Homestead Wishing
It is nice to entertain for the whole family. I like feeding people, it makes me happy!
tara pittman
I love making new items every year for dinner. I just have to remember to cook nut free as my daughter cant eat nuts.
Homestead Wishing
Oh I know what that is like. My parents are gluten free, no MSG, low sugar, and on and on. It gets difficult, but I worked in the natural food industry for many years so I know how to do it. That helps at least! Good luck with your dinner. I know it will be great and nut free!
Michelle Liew
Thanks for sharing these delicious ideas!
Homestead Wishing
You are very welcome!
Rachel Mouton
I love these ideas! Fresh green beans are a must 🙂
Homestead Wishing
It helps to use fresh if you can for sure! Thank you Rachel!
Ana De- Jesus

Elizabeth O.
I really appreciate all the tips, I love the recipes you put on here as well. Thanks for sharing all of them, I can’t wait for Thanksgiving. It’s one of the best Holidays ever!
Homestead Wishing
Thank you! I agree, I love Thanksgiving. It just doesn’t get any better than lots of family and food!
Heidi Gray
So many great recipes! I will have to try some of these out! I’m not great with baking and cooking I pretty much let that up to my family. I’d rather bake than cook and whole turkey is a task I’ve yet to undertake…
Homestead Wishing
It is so much more simple than it looks! Especially, if you buy a turkey that is ready to bake! Thanks for stopping by Heidi!
Erika
This sounds like a truly scrumptious feast!
Claudette
We did Thanksgiving here already and it was great. Love your tips and hope you have a great Day when it comes!
Homestead Wishing
Glad to hear you had a good Thanksgiving! Thank you, I am sure it will be full of food, fun, and family! YAY!
rika
I agree with you. Thawing isn’t necessary if you don’t have time to prepare your Turkey. I had a last minute plan, bought the Turkey the same day and cook it slowly.
Shaylee @ Data Nerds
These are great tips! Too bad we already had our Thanksgiving here in Canada – they would have come in handy 🙂
Homestead Wishing
Maybe next year, I can try to share it around Canada’s holiday too. I hope you had a great holiday!
Mykidsguide
These are great tips. We always have these dishes on our Thanksgiving dinner, but I also make something new every year.
Homestead Wishing
I try to make something new every year too. Some dishes get replaced with new favorites!
