Our Favorite Thanksgiving Recipes
Preparing a holiday meal means juggling multiple things cooking in the oven and on the stovetop at once, all while working in a kitchen that's cluttered with ingredients and people. You need all the help you can get!
Ready-made sauces, condiments, and dressings can make your life so much easier, but of course you want to serve your guests high-quality ingredients. That's where we come in. The recipes below offer Thanksgiving options that strike a perfect balance of homemade flavor and stress-free cooking.
Be the host with the most this Thanksgiving!
Easy, Juicy Thanksgiving Turkey
First up, the bird. For a juicy and bronzed turkey, marinate it overnight with our Avocado Oil & Vinegar Dressing, then roast it to perfection the next day. This method means no messy turkey brine to discard, and no fiddling with adjusting oven temperatures.

Turkey Bone Both Gravy
A holiday meal isn't complete without a side of rich gravy poured over roasted turkey, mashed potatoes or cauliflower, and stuffing. You can make your own, but why not let us do the work for you? Simply warm up a jar of Primal Kitchen No Dairy Classic Gravy made with turkey bone broth for a savory flavor and creamy texture just like homemade.

Green Bean Casserole
This one takes a little time, but you'll be rewarded with a dish of snappy green beans, luscious garlic-studded creamy sauce (with no dairy!), sautéed mushrooms, and fried onion strings. This is not your aunt's casserole-from-a-can creation.

Cranberry Sweet Potatoes
These all-in-one stuffed sweet potatoes deliver all of the flavors of a holiday meal in one bite. Our recipe calls for ground turkey, but you can easily swap in some roasted turkey.

Maple Roasted Butternut Squash
Roasting vegetables is a simple and simply delicious side-dish method. Instead of a cloying sweet potato casserole topped with marshmallows, why not simplify and roast some naturally sweet autumn squash? Scoop out the seeds and serve entire halves to your vegetarian guests, or dice into cubes to feed the entire table.

Recipe uses Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil.
Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad
We bet that many people who claim to hate Brussels sprouts just haven't had them prepared correctly. Roasting well-seasoned sprouts with plenty of olive oil or avocado oil is a foolproof way to make them more flavorful, as is shaving them extra-fine and serving them raw with goodies like bacon, pecans, and gorgonzola cheese.

Recipe uses Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil and Primal Kitchen Spicy Brown Mustard.
Scalloped Potatoes
This classic holiday dish is great for bringing people together, but not so great for folks who don't (or can't) eat dairy. With our vegan scalloped potato recipe, nobody gets left out. This super-simple dish calls for just three main ingredients: potatoes, onions, and ready-made Primal Kitchen Vegan Alfredo Sauce.
