Wow Your Guests With These Non-Traditional Variations of Classic Thanksgiving Dishes

by N/A, 10 years ago | 1 min read

For all those who are just too cool for turkey. 

food thanksgiving creative DIY Non-Premium

Appetizers:
Spinach Artichoke Bites

Ditch the dip for these baked, bite-sized appetizers!

Spiced Pecans

Yes, I'm transitioning the pie classic to an appetizer. These spiced nuts are a filling and nutritious option that are phenomenally easy to snack on while cooking or mingling. 

Mac & Cheese Bites

A step up on mozzarella sticks, mac & cheese bites are sure to please your child and adult guests alike. 

Entrees:
Turchetta

You'll have to get up close and personal with your turkey to produce this play on the Italian porchetta (rolled skinless pork roast) but it's a unique and delicious take on the bird. 

Side Dishes:
Bacon-Wrapped Beef Tenderloin with Herb Stuffing

Because you can eat any meat you like on Thanksgiving. Try this flavorful beef tenderloin if you're feeling bad for the gobblers this year. 

Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad

Disguise these little guys in a salad and see them fly a bit more than their roasted version. 

Sweet Potato Crisps

Fun fact, you don't have to load your sweet potatoes with brown sugar for them to be delicious. Try baking them for a crunchy addition to your meal. And if you really can't do without the brown sugar, sprinkle some on top. 

Mashed Potato Pancakes

While I can't imagine a Thanksgiving without those fluffy piles of heaven, if they're not you're thing, opt for these crisp potato pancakes instead. 

Or! Use your leftovers the next day to whip these up. 

Parmesan Green Bean Fries

These scrumptious bean fries can permanently replace heavy green bean casserole in my book. 

Kalamata Cranberry Chutney

For a twist on the classic, add olives and a bit of citrus flair to your turkey topper. 

Bundt Pan Stuffing

So, stuffing is just one thing that's too good to mess with (if you disagree, you're doing Thanksgiving wrong) but you can spruce up your presentation with this trick!

Desserts:
Apple Roses

This beautiful and dainty version of apple pie is surprisingly simple to make! 

Spiced Pumpkin Pie Dip

This play on the classic Thanksgiving treat still packs a punch of pumpkin but also allows you to pair all types of dippers into your dessert.
