5-Star Thanksgiving Sides To Add To Your Turkey Day Menu

Save some oven space by putting this comforting casserole together on the stove. With a buttery Ritz cracker topping, cheesy sauce, and a little bit of health built in from broccoli florets, this side might become your new favorite side.

This dish is the perfect way to add a pop of color and some brightness to your mostly-brown Thanksgiving plate. Roasting on high heat helps the beans cook fast so they don't lose their color and creates a lovely Parmesan crust.

Pureed butternut squash creates a fall-flavored stand-in for a traditional mac and cheese white sauce. You get all the rich, cheesy goodness of mac and cheese with a healthy surprise of butternut squash.  

A quick marinade of Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, and a couple seasonings thrown over halved Brussels makes a simple, easy side that will pair beautifully with the rest of your meal.  

Three ingredients bring big flavor in this surprisingly simple side. You can't go wrong with butter and brown sugar, and after a turn in the oven, this winter squash becomes melt-in-your-mouth delicious.  

It wouldn't be a Southern Thanksgiving without deviled eggs to add to your plate—or to sneak in before the meal. Thick-cut Applewood smoked bacon slices add a salty, smoky, crunch to the classic appetizer.  

If you're a sweet potato casserole purist, this recipe is for you. The puree of potatoes, butter, vanilla, eggs, and sugar is standard, but the real star is the topping. Alternating strips of roasted marshmallow and cornflake-pecan crumble give the perfect balance of crunch and pillowy goodness.
