Hosting Thanksgiving is stressful enough without having to spend countless hours scouring cookbooks and websites for the perfect recipes. We’ve gathered our favorite smoked and grilled Thanksgiving recipes, from turkey and stuffing to mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, and apple pie. They’re all thoroughly tested and most of them are done outdoors, meaning less mess in the kitchen and extra room in the oven and on the stovetop for warming dishes up. Use our recipes to build a Thanksgiving menu that will have your guests coming back for seconds and thirds!
