Best Thanksgiving Sides

Best Thanksgiving sides to serve next to your main dish this year! Easy Thanksgiving side dishes including vegetables, stuffing, & everything in between.

Of course we know Thanksgiving is synonymous with turkey, but personally I think Thanksgiving sides are almost as good (maybe better) than the bird itself. Here are some of the best side dish recipes for Thanksgiving Day that make it on to our table each year! (originally published 10/16, affiliate links present)

Thanksgiving is all about nibbling for me.

Snacking before the meal, eating a little bit of this and a little bit of that….topped off with some dessert after that….and then a nap!!

Here are a few of our favorite Thanksgiving sides to help you serve up some variety this year!

Let’s start with some green bean casserole in an Instant Pot!

Then whip up this sparkling cranberry sangria mocktail or cocktail for the adults, then…..
