Unique Thanksgiving Side Dishes are fun and exciting. These recipes are not the same ole boring recipes you've had year after year!

UNIQUE THANKSGIVING SIDE DISHES

I enjoy adding a couple of new and unexpected side dish recipes each year to mix it up a little. Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, and Christmas are the perfect time to try new recipes. If your family is like mine, there are certain recipes that are must-haves, turkey, broccoli casserole, and candied sweet potatoes are a few of them.

Some of these recipes are tasty twists on the original recipes while some of them are altogether new and fun.

I for one had much rather have exciting sides than turkey or ham. Hopefully, some of the recipes I’m sharing below will reinvigorate your holiday spread. I’ve chosen something for everyone, hopefully. 

If your recipe calls for alcohol and you’re out or don’t like alcohol, check out my post, Substitutions for Alcohol in Recipes.

If you need a full, traditional Thanksgiving Menu, check this post out. And, check out my post of Holiday Booze too.

Do you need Thanksgiving tablescape ideas? Here is some inspiration to get you started. 

What’s a new recipe you plan to try this year? Got any questions? Ask away! I’m happy to help.
