Today I am sharing my best Thanksgiving Recipes! Many of these recipes are my mother’s, and they go back several generations! I hope y’all enjoy them as much as we have.
Family Favorite Thanksgiving Recipes
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it centers around food, family, and traditions. If you’re anything like us, you’re probably already thinking about what’s hitting the table!
These are the dishes we pull out year after year, the ones passed down, perfected, and ready to share.
From tender turkey to all the comforting sides, you’ll find the essentials that make the meal complete. Think southern cornbread dressing, scalloped potatoes, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, and a bright homemade cranberry sauce.

Bone-In Oven-Roasted Turkey Breast
This is my mom’s recipe, and she has used this method for many, many years. Why not a whole turkey? I really like the simplicity of turkey breast. You don’t have to worry about trying to cook the dark meat enough while not drying out the white meat. There is no basting in this method either, so no fuss!
