1. Apple Cranberry Stuffing 

There’s no way we weren’t going to pull out all the stops for a holiday that’s all about food (and giving thanks… but mostly food). So we’re offering up a special stuffing that will be welcome on any feasting table. It’s got Ocean Spray cranberries, sage, toasty bread, and our special harvest spice blend. All you need to make it complete is a few of your other favorite Thanksgiving dishes (and six to eight hungry mouths to feed it to). Order it off the menu today to get all the pre-measured ingredients delivered to your doorstep next week. And in the meantime, take a peek at the recipe here.

2. Caramelized Shallot Risotto 

Raw shallots start out crisp and pungent, but when you roast them in the oven they become meltingly tender and sweet. In this recipe, they’re tucked into a risotto, adding surprise bursts of flavor between the creamy grains. And for an elegant finish, you’ve got zucchini ribbons, which top the rice like a green veggie crown. It’ll be impressive as a side dish at Thanksgiving, serving six to eight, but also perfect for enjoying as a meal for two any night of the week. Order it off the menu today to get everything you need in time for the big day. Get excited by checking out the recipe here.

3. Feel-Good Freekeh Salad with Brussels Sprouts, Roasted Butternut Squash, and Apple

Don’t settle for boring brown rice on Thanksgiving. Instead, opt for freekeh. The smoky, nutty flavor of this whole grain mixed with creamy butternut squash, sweet apples, and crispy roasted Brussels sprouts is guaranteed to wow even the pickiest of crowds. After all, there’s a reason it’s called “feel-good freekeh salad,” right? Get the recipe here.

4. Fig and Quinoa Salad with Arugula, Mint, and Feta

Calling this a “salad” doesn’t do it justice. From the protein-packed quinoa, fiber-rich figs, and heart-healthy arugula, this dish packs a serious nutritional (and flavor) punch. It’s one of our go-to vegetarian meals that has officially reached the rank of Thanksgiving side dish. Get the recipe here.

5. Loaded Lentil Salad with Honey-Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts

Lentils are a nutritional powerhouse loaded with protein, fiber, complex carbs, vitamins, and minerals. Needless to say, you want them on your Thanksgiving table — especially when they come alongside honey-roasted sweet potatoes, crispy Brussels sprouts, and crunchy pepitas. Get the recipe here.

6. Brussels Sprouts, Gorgonzola, and Pecan Salad

This super simple and nutrient-packed salad has a few key flavor players: buttery pecans, sharp Gorgonzola cheese, nutty Brussels sprouts, and fragrant fresh thyme. Talk about a Thanksgiving show-stopper. Get the recipe here.
