As a food editor, I’m all about rankings. When it comes to Thanksgiving, stuffing tops my recipe list—no questions asked. Turkey, however? Ehh, it’s a bit further down. If you’re like me and would rather skip it in favor of Brussels sprout mushroom pizza, cheater’s duck confit or French onion brisket, then this roundup is for you. Here are 29 alternative Thanksgiving meals that are so good, you’ll forget all about the traditional bird.
My list includes seasonal risotto, classy-yet-simple lamb chops, foolproof steak and even vegetarian and vegan mains that your plant-based relatives will love. These Thanksgiving dinner alternatives are all about minimizing effort while spicing up the usual menu. I’ll bring the wine, friend.
