Top 5 Thanksgiving Foods to Look Forward to This Season

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at MSU chapter.

Thanksgiving season is upon us! Here are the top five thanksgiving foods to look forward to.

Gravy 

Okay, hear me out: gravy on its own isn’t the greatest, but man does it really add depth to your plate. Gravy is the unsung hero of Thanksgiving dishes. It elevates the turkey from dry to delicious.

Turkey

Yeah yeah, turkey is supposed to be the star of the Thanksgiving meal, but really it’s the most boring. It’s super dry and kind of lacks character, but it is a holiday staple. You can’t have Thanksgiving without a turkey.

Stuffing

Stuffing — or dressing depending on where you’re from — is essential to having an enjoyable Thanksgiving dinner. The flavor the stuffing gets from the broth and the mixed vegetables…. Amazing.

Mashed Potatoes 

This buttery, creamy dish is, without fail, always a favorite at the Thanksgiving table. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also super easy to make. Mashed potatoes are definitely a dish that everyone can enjoy, even those picky eaters. 

Pumpkin Pie

My absolute favorite part of Thanksgiving is the dessert. To be specific, it’s the pumpkin pie. I don’t care what anyone says, but pumpkin pie is the best pie. It’s creamy, it’s smooth, it’s delicious, and it tastes amazing with whipped cream.

Happy Thanksgiving!
