Make no mistake, on Thanksgiving the turkey is the star of the show. But no thanksgiving meal is complete without an array of tantalizing side dishes. Whether your family loves candied yams, fresh green salads, fluffy rolls, or a combination of side dishes, this list has got you covered. 

1) Roasted Fingerling Potato and Beet Salad 

Roasted Fingerling Potato and Beet Salad

Packed with antioxidants thanks to the red beets and the green leafy vegetables, this gorgeous root vegetable salad is as nutritious as it is beautiful. We suggest presenting this salad on a large serving platter to fully display the vibrant colors of the vegetables, bright green dressing, and stark white goat cheese

2) Herb Roasted Mashed Potatoes

This one-pan mashed potato dish frees up plenty of counter and stove-top space, making it a great space-saving recipe when cooking for a larger group. And, as a bonus it makes some pretty tasty taters too. 

3) Herby Chickpea and Barley Salad 

Herby Chickpea and Barley Salad

This grain salad is vibrant, fresh, and crunchy, and is perfect as a side dish alongside roast turkey. Barley has a substantial texture and chew which is ideal for the punchy shallot vinaigrette. A little celery adds a fresh crunch, chickpeas add richness, and herbs add verdancy. 

4) Sous Vide Candied Yams

Sous Vide Candied Yams

One dish that is essential on many Thanksgiving tables is candied yams. This decadent sweet treat is the perfect accompaniment to savory gravy, meaty turkey, and tart cranberry sauce. Using the sous vide method to cook sliced yams in maple syrup, butter, and spices infuses the yams with flavor.

5) Creamed Spinach and Kale

Creamed spinach is a classic side that delivers a creamy luxuriousness to anything on the plate. We chose to add kale to this dish as it adds a little more texture than just spinach alone. We love it as a Thanksgiving side, pairing perfectly with lean turkey. 

6) Roasted Vegetable Medley 

Roasted Vegetable Medley

This simple side dish brings all your favorite roast vegetables together on one platter, including crisp brussel sprouts, tender potatoes, sweet parsnips, colorful carrots, and fragrant red onion. You can mix and match vegetables based on your preferences. 

7) Green Bean Casserole 

Green bean casserole is a must on our Thanksgiving table, so we’ve decided to save valuable oven space and let our Suvie do the work! Made with fresh green beans, this casserole is a harmonious mix of crisp and vibrant vegetables with an ultra creamy and comforting sauce. For an extra crunch, try adding your favorite nut to the topping, such as slivered almonds or chopped walnuts. 

8) Sous Vide Cranberry Sauce 

When you’ve got a Thanksgiving to-do list as long as your arm, it can be tempting to buy a can of cranberry sauce to quickly cross one thing off the list. But there is nothing quite like tart homemade cranberry sauce, which is endlessly customizable.
