I’m a big fan of Simply Recipes.
Elise has delicious recipes that even a cooking newbie like me can make and enjoy.
So it seems only fair that I share with you some of her excellent Thanksgiving dinner recipes.
For those of you who have I Love to Cheat, you already know how to incorporate these Thanksgiving recipes into your diet.
Just click the name of the food for a link to the Thanksgiving recipe.
Thanksgiving Roast Turkey Recipe
You’ve got to click over to Elise’s site to see how her mother makes a turkey with white meat that is moist and flavorful.
No dried out white meat here.
Elise will also give you tips on how to use the turkey heart and gizzard to flavor your Thanksgiving stuffing.
Thanksgiving Turkey Stuffing Recipe
Another winner from Elise’s Mom!
Elise will tell you how to infuse the stuffing with turkey flavor and whether it’s best to cook the stuffing in the bird or separately.
There’s even a video link to show you how to make the stuffing.
Now for the Thanksgiving side dishes…
Thanksgiving Cranberry Sauce Recipe
If you can resist this luscious-looking cranberry sauce, you’ve got more willpower than I do.
I don’t use the optional ingredients Elise lists.
But take a look at her recipe and see if you like the options she suggests.
I was torn between these next 2 recipes because I love potatoes both ways.
Thanksgiving Perfect Mashed Potatoes Recipe
For the most buttery, creamy, heavenly mashed potatoes, you’ve got to get this Thanksgiving recipe.
Elise will tell you the secret. It’s so simple, anyone can do it.
I tried these potatoes. They’re delicious.
But as much as I love mashed potatoes, it wouldn’t be Thanksgiving for me without scalloped potatoes. Here’s Elise’s recipe…
Thanksgiving Scalloped Potatoes Recipe
These scalloped potatoes will be on my Thanksgiving dinner table this year.
Elise uses more ingredients than I do, so I can’t wait to try her recipe. I never thought of using bacon in scalloped potatoes.
And for those of you who prefer yams…
Thanksgiving Spiced Sweet Potatoes (Yams) Recipe
I’m not a big fan of yams. But for many people, it’s a holiday tradition.
This recipe sounds so tasty, I might give it a try myself.
And to top off the dinner portion of Thanksgiving, here are 2 great vegetable side dishes.

These are the biggest baby carrots I’ve ever seen.
They’ll give your table a festive fall color and they taste great, too.

This is an easy recipe that will dress up any Thanksgiving dinner table.
The almonds are a nice touch, too.
