Strictly speaking, Thanksgiving isn’t a Jewish holiday, but we know many Jews take this time to give thanks, acknowledge the many contributions Indigenous People have made, learn about the land we are on, pursue justice, and connect with those we love most. There are many ways to infuse your celebration with Jewish meaning. Here is a selection of some recipes from reformjudaism.org to make a delicious, Jewish-infused Thanksgiving dinner.
For the main dish, we love Tina Wasserman's Roast Turkey with Vegetables, complete with "Tina's Tidbits" for cooking the bird. Choose one or more of these warm, autumnal side dishes to accompany it:
- Sweet Potato and Carrot Latkes
- Savory Apple-Kasha Stuffing (Gluten-Free)
- Bread Kugel with Dried Fruit and Sun-Dried Tomatoes (perfect instead of stuffing)
- Vegan Sweet Potato Kugel

Don't forget your veggies! Instead of a standard side salad, try one of these delicious sides:
- Roasted Butternut Squash with Apples and Onions
- Vegetarian Couscous
- Curried Lentils and Vegetables
- Tunisian Spiced Carrots
- Butternut Squash in Sweet and Sour Sauce
