Turkey is a traditional Thanksgiving dish, despite the Pilgrims not having any at the First Thanksgiving. This recipe takes approximately 3.5 hours (with an additional 2 days for brining), and serves 12-14 people.
Mashed potatoes are essential. According to a study by limitlesscooking.com, mashed potatoes are the most popular food for Americans at an 85% popularity score 
“Stuffing” is (for the most part) synonymous with “dressing”. 
Casseroles started to become popular when Campbell employee Dorcas Reilly created the green bean casserole recipe in 1955. It was added to Campbell cans in the ‘60s, and has since become a Thanksgiving classic 
A meal is not complete without vegetables, and brussel sprouts are a popular Thanksgiving side dish. This recipe takes 30-35 minutes to put together and makes 6 servings.
Gravy originated in the Medieval times, as a record of it was found in a 1390 cookbook 
Every Thanksgiving, 80 million pints of cranberry sauce, also known as relish, is collectively eaten by Americans. Cranberries are one of the 3 fruits native to North America 
There is much debate over which kind of pie is the best. Pumpkin pie, blueberry pie, and pecan pie are all popular, but apple pie is a classic. This recipe takes 30 minutes to prep and 1.5 hours to bake, for a total of 2 hours. 
Cheesecake is generally thought to be synonymous with New York, but it’s also a popular Thanksgiving dessert. This recipe requires 3.5 hours to make, and needs to refrigerate for another 4 hours. It serves around 16 people.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Ramapo!
