A Taste of Thanksgiving – Easy Thanksgiving Meal Ideas
Thanksgiving is about gratitude, connection, and good food. But that doesn’t mean you need to spend hours in the kitchen to create something memorable. We’ve rounded up a few easy dishes that balance simplicity with festive flavour, perfect whether you’re hosting the whole family or enjoying a more intimate meal.
Herb-Roasted Turkey Breast
If you’re planning a smaller gathering, skip the whole turkey and try a roasted turkey breast instead. It cooks faster, takes less prep, and still delivers that classic Thanksgiving flavour. With fresh herbs and a touch of lemon, it’s juicy, aromatic, and easy to carve.
Maple-Glazed Carrots
Bright, sweet, and savoury all at once, these carrots are a colourful side that add a little sparkle to your holiday table. A drizzle of maple syrup and butter creates a caramelized glaze that pairs beautifully with turkey or ham, and they’re ready in under 30 minutes.
Classic Pumpkin Pie
No Canadian Thanksgiving is complete without pumpkin pie. This recipe keeps it simple with a pre-made crust and a silky pumpkin filling seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s the sweet ending every Thanksgiving table deserves.
Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Comforting, creamy, and delicious, mashed potatoes are the ultimate Thanksgiving side. This version uses garlic and butter for a rich, velvety texture. Perfect for soaking up gravy or enjoying on their own.
