This is a traditional Thanksgiving menu which is what my family loves. Even if we can convince folks to try something new for Thanksgiving, they insist upon keeping the old favorites as well. My philosophy, If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. 

All recipes are linked for your convenience. Bookmark this page to easily return. We are beginning this Thanksgiving Menu with a delicious recipe for a roasted turkey!
