Grill Up Your Thanksgiving Side Dishes

Thanksgiving Side Dishes

Quick. What do you like best about Thanksgiving dinner?

Discussing politics with your red state / blue state relatives? 😉 We’ve had enough of that prior to the election.

Wondering if your turkey is completely thawed or still frozen in the center / undercooked or over overcooked / dry or a dozen other worries?

Don’t get me wrong, I love turkey, and Thanksgiving just wouldn’t be a holiday without it. But my favorite part of the meal—or at least the part I most hunger for—just might be the side dishes.

When else do you get to eat sweet potato casserole topped with marshmallows and still maintain you’re a grownup?

When else do you get to simmer ginger, sugar, and red berries so astringent you can’t eat them raw to make a side dish that doubles as a condiment: cranberry sauce?

As for stuffing, I’d swap all the gratins in France for that wondrous combination of toasted bread, sauteed mushrooms, celery, and caramelized onions. (And, no, I don’t cook it in the turkey—for more on that, check out this blog post.)

Come time for dessert, there’s pumpkin pie? It’s one of America’s great gifts to world gastronomy and it never seems to taste better than on Thanksgiving Day. And if you think it’s great baked the conventional way in the oven, just wait until you taste it grilled.

You already know how to grill the perfect turkey. If you don’t, worry not—here is my failproof Turkey Recipe.

Today we focus on Thanksgiving side dishes, and yes, everyone can and should be cooked on the grill.
