Grilled And Smoked Recipes That Are Certain To Wow Your Holiday Guests

Hosting Thanksgiving is stressful enough without having to scour cookbooks and websites for the perfect recipes. Instead, the team at AmazingRibs.com has assembled its top smoked and grilled Thanksgiving recipes (including several great turkey options), plus carving tips, planning hints, and ideas for sides and desserts.

Not only are they all delicious, but most of them are also done outdoors, meaning less mess in the kitchen and extra room in the oven and on the stovetop for warming dishes up. Now it’s time to celebrate the harvest!
