15 Thanksgiving Day Appetizers That Won’t Fill Your Guests Up Before the Turkey
Thanksgiving Day feasting begins long before the turkey is served, but careful thought must be put into appetizer planning; a good pre-bird snack spread walks the line between filling and light. Leave guests and family to fend for themselves, and you’ll be dealing with plummeting blood sugar and foul moods; serve a super decadent array of starters, and no one will be hungry for turkey, which would be a real shame, because I hear you roast a beautiful bird.
To keep spirits bright and stomachs primed, serve a few light but satisfying appetizers and snacks before the big meal. It may be tempting to open a bag of chips and a cheese log and call it a day, but greasy fare can weight your guests down before they even get to the table. By keeping things light on meat and cheese and heavy on produce, guests can snack right up to dinner without worrying about ruining their appetite. Click through the following recipes for tasty, yet light, appetizers to feed your whole holiday crew.
