5 Juicy & Delicious Thanksgiving Turkey Recipes To Try This Year

I know that some of you have been hosting Thanksgiving dinner for years and already have a favorite, go-to Thanksgiving turkey recipe but in case you have been thinking of switching things up a bit this year or you are just now starting to host this traditional family dinner, I am hoping that you will set your heart on one of these recipes because they have been tested and come highly recommended. 

I will be hosting my first Thanksgiving dinner (yaaaayy🎉🦃) and as of now I am seriously tempted by recipe #5 below. I could never resist herbes de provence on anything and I feel like it will pair beautifully with a French Pinot Noire. n, I am practically drooling and ready for dinner right now! :)

Bon appétit, mes amis!
