You love a traditional Thanksgiving feast, but you pretty much know what mains and sides to expect every year (roast turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing—you know the drill). Starters, on the other hand, can be deliciously surprising. From beer cheese soup to artichoke dip bites to crispy mushrooms, here are 74 Thanksgiving appetizers that will kick off your celebration with a bang.
They're equal parts classy, impressive and simple, so even first-time hostesses can pull them off without breaking a sweat. Many of these recipes can also be prepared ahead, so you'll have one less thing to do on the big day if you make one in advance. Thank me on Black Friday.
