Stunning Thanksgiving Main Dish Recipes That Aren’t Turkey

Think turkey is getting a little tired?

We get it. It may be tradition, but too often, that means a dried-out bird or flavorless meat. Getting a fresh one can cost a fortune, and the idea of thawing out a Butterball may leave you cold.

And while a Yahoo Food survey found that 91 percent of respondents plan to serve turkey at their Thanksgiving feasts, 10 percent plan to make a meatless entrée, and nearly 33 percent of all respondents plan to make room for a ham for their holiday table.

So go against the mainstream and put all that effort into a show-stopping main course that isn’t turkey. If you’ve got a crowd together, it’s time to wow them with a cut of meat, like a pork shoulder, that you may not cook just any night of the week.

Whether you want to glaze a ham, cook a flavorful roast, or go vegetarian this Thanksgiving, we’ve got you covered with dishes that are sure to impress.
