Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays as it's ALL about the food and the love. Over the years, I've developed dozens of recipes that are all near and dear to my heart.
Overall, my Cajun Rice Dressing is a reader favorite that features flavors that captivate kids and adults alike. I am also up for a scrumptious Cabbage Jambalaya on Turkey Day, loving every bite of the South Louisiana Special sauce that envelops the soft, seasoned cabbage, shrimp, sausage, and rice.
Turkey is one of my favorite proteins, and my Cajun Turkey Breast is one of my all-time favorite dishes. I rub seasoned butter both under and over the skin. So, each piece is super flavorful, tender, and juicy all the way down to the bone.
If you're pressed for time, you'll likely want to try my Cajun-Spiced Turkey Tenderloin Recipe. With only about 15 minutes of prep and 30 minutes of baking time, this holiday-worthy turkey recipe impresses with New Orleans flavors and a unique sweet heat finish.
There are lots of Thanksgiving side dish recipes to choose from, including Cajun Smothered Green Beans with Sausage, Maple Glazed Carrots, Cajun Potato Salad, and Corn Maque Choux.
For the perfect finish to your meal, I highly recommend Old-Fashioned Cajun Cake, Bananas Foster Bread Pudding, and Crustless Sweet Potato Pie.
