When it comes to a traditional Thanksgiving feast, most families sink their teeth into turkey. But in a country as culturally diverse as ours, it’s not surprising that every family has a different spin on the holiday, serving up a number of delicious dishes. From lasagna to a piping hot bowl of black bean soup, many of us turn to tried and true family recipes when whipping up a Thanksgiving feast.

Mashable reports about some of their staff's favorite family dishes and how our vibrant mix of cultures eat different foods for Thanksgiving that go way beyond your everyday turkey and stuffing. Read on and find out how to enter to win a $250 Philips Airfryer this Thanksgiving!

One Eastern European favorite replaces the standard bowl of Thanksgiving mashed potatoes with a tasty recipe for crispy fried latkes. These can be served with some apple sauce to add a little sweet to the savory.

If you want to bring an Asian flare to your macaroni and cheese casserole, adding some Korean kimchi to the dish will give it some bite. And when the leftover turkey is taking up too much space in the fridge, chop it up and throw it into turkey fried rice for a delicious post-Thanksgiving day dish.

Stuffing is always a great dish to alter since you can throw so many different spices and ingredients in that go awesome with a turkey. A Middle Eastern style stuffing recipe called Persian basmati rice stuffing is made with pomegranate paste, goat cheese and turkey stock. The savory sweet mix can also be made vegetarian if you substitute vegetable broth for turkey stock.

And can there really be an Italian Thanksgiving without something saucy and cheesy? A vegetarian manicotti can substitute a lot of side dishes that go great with your turkey. A well-stocked antipasto platter is sure to satisfy any guest’s pre-dinner snack needs.

Pies are delicious, pies are great! But so are cookies. A traditional Argentian cookie known as alfajores. Soft and buttery goodness, the cookies are filled with dulce-de-leche that is sure to melt in your mouth.

A mix of this, a mix of that is really what Thanksgiving is all about. Add in a good time with friends and family and every feast is complete!

Enter to win a Philips Airfryer with Rapid Air Technology, valued at $249.99! The Philips Airfryer uses hot air in rapid circulation to fry all kinds of foods. It has a timer with automatic shut-off, a pull-out basket and cleans up in the dishwasher.

To enter for a chance to win, please share your family favorite Thanksgiving dishes that will make it to the table this year in the comments below.

Cooking is what "others" say I do best. I would definitely put this bad boy to great use. My family Thanksgiving traditional dish that I will be serving is sweet potato casserole, pecan pie and sage stuffing/ with cranberries.

We'll be enjoying my mom's delicious stuffing. It's simple and yet so delicious. Boil the giblets on the stove until tender. In a bowl add breadcrumbs, small slices of celery and onion. Add butter to mixture along with the pepper for taste (not too much). Once the giblets have cooled, cut them into small pieces and blend them in with the breadcrumb mixture. This entire mixture can be stuffed into the turkey when ready to cook your turkey. Enjoy!

I create a cheese ball shaped like a turkey (made with goat cheese, cream cheese, dredged in almonds, and with pretzal sticks for tail feathers!) This is the appetizer to keep everyone out of the kitchen until the REAL turkey and stuffing is ready.

We make all of the traditional Thanksgiving foods - my kids LOVE my stuffing with sausage. After Thanksgiving, I make turkey corn soup with the leftovers.

I remember as a kid driving to Indiana to have Thanksgiving with my cousins. We typically only saw them once a year. We would spend the days exploring and playing in the yard until our mom's called us in to eat. Simple, fun times.

My family does the "traditional" Thanksgiving meal with turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, sweet carrots, rolls, and dessert. BUT for Christmas we do a seafood feast. Scallops, shrimp, clam chowder, seafood bisque, clam strips, rolls and dessert. (I KNOW this was about Thanksgiving but I couldn't resist)!!!
