Below, you’ll find 91 Thanksgiving vegetables, including showstopping green bean casseroles, luscious glazed leeks, twice-baked squash, and easy creamy greens.

Maybe potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, squash, and brussels sprouts are the big five of Thanksgiving vegetables, but that doesn't mean you're limited to those options for your holiday table. Parsnips are sweet, earthy, and delicious with turkey, especially when paired with tangy pickled currants. Pair with a kale salad to balance out the richness of the Thanksgiving meal.
