Our Thanksgiving Menu 2020

November 21, 2020

Happy Thanksgiving week! This week is looking different for us than expected as I am sure it is for many, but we are going to make the best of it and have Thanksgiving in the van since our house is still under construction. I have compiled a list of what we plan to have this year and will be putting together as much of it beforehand as I can since we only have the oven in the van and our smoker to cook with. Tune in to Instagram stories to check it out HERE!

Below is what is on the menu for our Thanksgiving meal, and I also added a few extra recipes at the bottom if looking for more ideas.

Smoked Turkey

We are smoking our turkey on the Rec Tec this year, and while we don’t have an exact recipe yet, this is a start!

Chorizo and Cornbread Stuffing

I am not a fan of traditional stuffing, but THIS is delicious! I made it two years ago and it was so good.

Crispy Baked Sweet Potatoes 

These are phenomenal!! The last time they took longer to cook than anticipated, so plan for that!

Roasted Parmesan Green Beans 

I bought fried onions to maybe add to these to give them that Thanksgiving feel.

Roasted Green Beans are the perfect side dish. Oven roasted green beans are easily cooked to perfection! Still crisp and green with amazing flavor. Flavor classically or season with garlic and parmesan cheese. The perfect side dish for any meal! |Cooking with Karli| #greenbeans #sidedish #healthy #roasted #easter #recipe #howto

Pumpkin Earthquake Cake 

I made this for my husband’s birthday this year and it is SO GOOD. So, so good! I also made it for Thanksgiving last year.

Pumpkin Earthquake Cake - This easy Pumpkin Earthquake Cake is perfect for fall! It's made with a moist, spice cake mix that's been doctored up with canned pumpkin, pumpkin spice and more. There's a cream cheese filling swirled into a  pumpkin spice cake and milk chocolate chips sprinkled on top. #falldesserts #pumpkinspice #pumpkinrecipe #pumpkincake #dessertfoodrecipes #cookiedoughandovenmitt

And here are some more recipes that look equally delicious if still on the hunt for more ideas.

 

Cranberry Salsa

For an even easier version of this, buy the cranberry-orange relish from Trader Joes and put it over cream cheese. Delish!
