Thanksgiving is meant for traditions, gathering with family, and eating a festive Thanksgiving dinner, But this year is a bit different so we thought that we would share some twists on some old favorites to help you celebrate Thanksgiving in Phoenix.
Green Bean Casserole
One of the most popular Thanksgiving side dishes is the beloved green bean casserole. Instead of making the classic green bean casserole with condensed soup, canned beans, and fried onions, try these twists to an American classic.
Add Bacon – adding some bacon crumbles to your classic recipe kicks this classic casserole up a notch.
Add Cheese – Use either cheddar cheese soup instead of (or in addition to) cream of mushroom soup or add grated cheese. Either way adding cheese to green bean casserole is a delicious way to change things up.
Make it from Scratch – Instead of using condensed cream of mushroom soup, use heavy cream, a tablespoon of flour, fresh mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, chopped red peppers, and Parmesan cheese.
Add Artichokes – Add drained, chopped artichokes and cheese to your traditional recipe for a delicious twist!
Apple Cider Gravy
Let’s face it, gravy is pretty yummy, but it’s packed full of calories. You can make a low-fat gravy recipe by adding apple cider vinegar. This is a great way to keep your gravy healthy without sacrificing the dressing you love. Plus, it goes great with everything. Get the recipe.
Cornbread and Sausage Stuffing
Sausage can take any dish to an entirely new level. This year swap out your pork sausage for some turkey sausage when combing meat to classic dishes like cornbread stuffing. Plus, should you choose to omit the butter, you can cut out twice the fat. Get the recipe here.
Maple-Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Potatoes are a hearty addition to any meal. Need to add something sweet to your sweet potato recipe? Try this maple-glazed version that makes the perfect, flavorful addition to this traditional side dish. Get the recipe.
