    For me, I'm usually more excited about all of the Thanksgiving side dishes than I am about the turkey.

    My favorites are typically the stuffing (yes, I call it stuffing), and the mashed potatoes with turkey gravy. That said, I'm also all about a good vegetable side dish with Brussels sprouts being on the top of my list. What about you? What are your favorites?

    Below is my Thanksgiving-inspired recipe video for Turkey Bowl Spinach Dip that I think you're also going to enjoy!

    I hope you're hungry. Let's start our Thanksgiving Side Dish Recipe Roundup...
