Our Very Best Thanksgiving Menu for 2024, According to You

This year, we mined search-engine trends, traditional polling institutions, and our own analytics to dig into what Americans across the country are actually cooking for Thanlsgiving. Consider this your ultimate data-approved menu for 2024. 

Juicy Thanksgiving Turkey

Home cooks in Anchorage, Alaska, are more likely to roast their turkey—versus grilling, frying, smoking, etc.—than cooks in other U.S. cities. Follow Anchorage’s lead and make our #1 turkey recipe of all time.

Make-Ahead Stuffing

Most people search for this classic side using “stuffing” as their search term. Cooks in nine states are more likely to call it “dressing” while hunting down a recipe (did you know it’s only called stuffing if it’s cooked inside the turkey?)

4-Ingredient Green Bean Casserole

In 2023, the peak time to search for “green bean casserole” was at 10 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day, making this breezy recipe a good choice for a last-minute side.

Cranberry Sauce with Orange Juice

The verdict is in: 27% of cranberry sauce fans go for the from-scratch sauce (like this recipe), as opposed to the canned stuff. (And 37% percent like both!)

Chantilly Mashed Potato Casserole

This cheesy baked side was our breakout spud of 2023—the recipe was up 155% in clicks on our site.

Yummy Sweet Potato Casserole

This sweet potato-brown sugar bake may veer into dessert territory a bit—but it’s Allrecipes’ #1 Thanksgiving recipe of all time.

Paul’s Pumpkin Bars

Skip the traditional pumpkin pie and go for these fluffy, cake-like bars, which were a runaway fave in 2023 for our Midwestern cooks.
