Thanksgiving Recipe Roundup

Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away, and like the rest of America, I cannot wait to eat all day, have #turkoma (turkey coma), repeat steps A and B, and then have way too many leftovers in the fridge. For college students and everyday cooks who might be worried about preparing a proper Thanksgiving meal, there’s no need to use “fowl” language and stress about cooking all day. I’ve put together a roundup of Full-thyme Student’s most Thanksgiving-friendly recipes that you can use to efficiently and cheaply knock the socks off your guests. Here’s a collection of appetizers, main dishes, side dishes, and desserts so that you can enjoy the flavors of Thanksgiving without breaking the bank.
