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.

We do turkey, and dressing. We do fresh green beans and potato salad, then deviled eggs and blackeyed peas with ham. Turnip greens and corn on the cob. Pumpkin pie, pecan pie and some type of cake. Gaining weight thinking about it :)

My absolute favorite Thanksgiving dish is my Great Grandmother's homemade stuffing recipe. It takes so long to make, but is so worth it. We have a pretty big family, so we usually make between 15 and 20 lbs of it. It's amazing how much stuffing a person can eat! Thank you so much for the great giveaway! I have wanted one of these for so long. I had a car accident and gained over 100 lbs from the injuries, and have since lost a little over 80 of it. I have cut out all fried foods, and unhealthy eating, but I miss my fried foods so much. This is perfect for me, because I would get to eat the fried foods that I love so much, while still being healthy. I still have at least another 20 to 30 lbs to loose at least, but this would be a great reward for the weight I have lost. Good luck everyone!

This would be amazing! One thing I know nobody else has is both canned and frozen vegetables. Both versions of all the veggies are served! Some like one version, some like the other! LoL

I like to pair untraditional sides with a classic turkey (smoked or deep fried), but my family insistes on a couple home made pumpkin rolls every year.
