With Thanksgiving on the horizon, your mind is going to two places: The food and whoever/whatever you are thankful for. Today, we will make your mouth water by discussing the top five most popular Thanksgiving foods.

*Number 1: Roasted Turkey and Stuffing

Obviously, a roasted turkey will be on this list because it’s the staple of Thanksgiving. What is a Thanksgiving meal without a turkey? Many people add stuffing to their turkey, so we decided to rank them together because if you are having turkey on Thanksgiving, it will most likely be stuffed. To jazz it up, try making a sausage stuffing. It’s delightful!

*Number 2: Mashed Potatoes

Nothing is better than enjoying buttery mashed potatoes for this feast. You can add anything to the potatoes, which is great if you prefer to avoid the taste of the potatoes on their own. We recommend adding bacon. Who doesn’t love bacon?

*Number 3: Green Bean, Corn, and Sweet Potato Casserole

Just like turkey and stuffing, we decided to rank the popular casseroles together. Many people make these types of casseroles, and most of them include veggies, herbs, and spices, but some contain other ingredients such as corn or marshmallows. Mr. Holko’s personal favorite is the green bean casserole with cream of mushroom soup and fried onion straws.

*Number 4: Honey-Glazed Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts are the best option if you want to eat something healthy. The honey glaze adds a sweeter flavor, combating the vegetable taste. Brussels sprouts are also small and can be used as a snack. Fun fact, this food item makes Mr. Holko want to vomit!

*Number 5: Cranberry Sauce 

Cranberry Sauce can be found at almost any Thanksgiving table. It can be added to turkey or other meats for extra flavor or used as a sweet treat.

All families bring different types of food to their Thanksgiving feasts. More than likely, your favorite dish is going to appear on your plate, even if your favorite dish did not make this list.
