Thanksgiving side dishes are often the highlight of the meal, complementing the turkey and making the feast even more special. Here are ten classic and beloved Thanksgiving side dishes. I disagree with some of them, but our 10 With Tom consensus says this is it.

Mashed Potatoes – Creamy and buttery, mashed potatoes are a staple on any Thanksgiving table. Often served with gravy.

Stuffing (or Dressing) – A savory blend of bread, herbs, and vegetables, stuffing can be cooked inside the turkey or separately.

Green Bean Casserole – A comforting dish made with green beans, cream of mushroom soup, and crispy fried onions on top.

Sweet Potato Casserole – Typically topped with marshmallows or a pecan streusel, this dish adds a sweet touch to the meal.

Cranberry Sauce – A tart and sweet condiment that complements the rich flavors of the turkey. It can be homemade or canned.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts – Often roasted with olive oil and garlic, these can be enhanced with bacon or balsamic glaze.

Cornbread – A slightly sweet and crumbly bread that pairs perfectly with savory dishes. Some recipes include jalapeños or cheese.

Glazed Carrots – Carrots cooked with a sweet glaze of honey or brown sugar, often with a touch of butter.

Butternut Squash Soup – A creamy and comforting soup that’s a great way to start the meal or serve as a side.

Potato Au Gratin – Sliced potatoes baked in a creamy cheese sauce, offering a rich and indulgent alternative to mashed potatoes.

These side dishes offer a range of flavors and textures, making your Thanksgiving spread both diverse and delicious.
