a fried thanksgiving  turkey is a great alternative to roast turkey

Creative Thanksgiving recipes are one way to turn a boring Thanksgiving dinner into something exciting to cook.  Every year it's the same old thing, of the same old thing:  Cranberry sauce;  do you want canned jelly or canned whole berry?  Mincemeat pie that is fun in theory, but disgusting in taste.  Store bought Egg Nog that leaves nothing to be jolly about and the same old yams.

This holiday season, think outside the box and use one of these creative Thanksgiving recipes:  Opt for mincemeat ice cream instead of mince meat pie.  Whip up a no-spin apple cider sorbet or granita instead of a heavy pie, opt for homemade Wassail instead of Eggnog.  When it comes to amazing Thanksgiving dinners - creative Thanksgiving recipes are the way to go.

Creative Thanksgiving Recipes                                                                            

Instead of Mince Meat Pie , try  Brown Bag Apple Pie w/Mincemeat-Vanilla Ice Cream.

Instead of Homemade Cranberry Sauce, try Homemade Cranberry Sorbet or No-Spin Apple Sorbet.

Instead of Eggnog, try a homemade Wassail Recipe

Instead of Pumpkin Pie, try Butternut Harvest pie that will have them begging for more.

Instead of topping your pumpkin or Butter Harvest pie with Cool Whip or homemade Whipped Cream - dress up your pie with a sexy homemade pie topper.

Instead of instant Hot Chocolate and store-bought Marshmallows - Homemade Vanilla Hot Chocolate with Chocolate Marshmallows.

Instead of ho-hum Pecan Pie try Butterscotch Pecan Pie.

Instead of Sweet Potatos try Spicy oven-fried Sweet Potatos.

Instead of roasting your turkey in the oven - roast your Thanksgiving turkey in a bag or deep fry it.
