Thanksgiving Side Dishes
If the turkey is the star of the Thanksgiving show, then the side dishes are the supporting actors. Your choice of sides are important for balancing out the flavors of the meal.
How many side dishes you choose depend on how many people you are serving (or how many leftovers you want!). For a small group a simple selection of stuffing, mashed potatoes, and green beans might suffice. For a larger gathering you might pick a variety of salads, vegetables, potatoes (both mashed and sweet), and more than one stuffing recipe.
