5 Thanksgiving Recipe Ideas

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

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, here are a few recipes you could use to spice up dinner and impress your family.

  1. Cinnamon cornbread. This sweet spin on cornbread will have your family coming to the table for seconds, so make sure you make more than one batch! This recipe includes unsalted butter, cornmeal mix, all-purpose flour, sugar, ground cinnamon, eggs, and low-fat milk. The full recipe to this is located on https://www.food.com/recipe/cinnamon-cornbread-388217
  2. Deep-Fried Turkey. This has been a trending recipe for a few years now. Frying your turkey adds a crispy flavor inside of each bite. You can fry it multiple ways such as an electric fryer, pot-and propane setup, a stockpot, and a deep fryer of course.
