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.

My Mom's famous stuffing. Tom the Turkey is always filled full of it!!!

Many of these recipes sound great. If I was going to make one, it would probably be the Persian basmati rice dish. I also like the alfajore cookies. Think I could pull of either of these.

We make ham and cheese casserole with potatoes, it is a HUGE hit

I love my family recipe of cherrio pie. It is a lot like cheesecake only you do not bake it. It makes me think of going to my grandmas house for Thanksgiving each year. I miss her still even after her being gone for 21 years.

Our favorite is sweet potato casserole.
by hamptonette | HOLBROOK, NY
Every dish has a Russell Stover chocolate turkey next to it. We begin going around the table hearing what each person is thankful for and although the stuffed turkey is the crowning glory, the vegetables are neverending. Candied yams as well as fresh yams have joined the mashed potatoes for years. Creamed spinach; asparagus; broccoli florets with cheese and mashed turnips seem to be finished off with no leftovers. Apple cider to drink and Carvel individual turkeys for dessert. The following day, the leftover turkey, stuffing and extra gravy are mixed all together in a skillet for another yummy reminder of the day before. Enjoy everyone!

Love my chef husband's latkes- crunchy potato pancakes he makes with shredded sweet potatoes! With a sprinkle of Kosher salt they are SO good! Love them on Thanksgiving, but can't wait for Hanukkah! Hibs is the Latke King of Landgraff, WV!

We always have some traditional dishes with some international dishes, alongside turkey and stuffing we will have lasagna and pierogies

My family's tradition for as long as I can remember is my great grandmas homemade chicken and dumplings!!

I would love to win this. I would definitely make the potato latkes, I love a crispy fried potato with every meal. For Thanksgiving we keep it traditional though, turkey, homemade gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, squash, and pumpkin pie.
