Thanksgiving is one of the most beloved of all holidays in the United States, and it’s easy to see why. A big dinner shared with family and friends makes for a good time and it’s one of the main reasons why Americans love Turkey Day.

Turkey is a well-known part of this special dinner, but are you familiar with the essential side dishes of a great Thanksgiving? Get to know some of the most essential ones here!

Mashed Potatoes

Thanksgiving isn’t complete without a big bowl of mashed potatoes full of butter, milk, and cream in the center of the table. This fall favorite is the perfect starchy side dish on Thanksgiving.

Stuffing

Turkey is delicious by itself, but it’s even more delicious with a hearty serving of stuffing. This bread-based side can either be baked inside of the turkey or served apart from the bird. Either way, it’s rich and tasty.
