Thanksgiving Recipe Roundup 2022. Looking for DadCooksDinner recipes for your Thanksgiving turkey, gravy or sides? Here are my Thanksgiving favorites.

My pressure cooker supports me when I have my (large, extended) family for Thanksgiving. For the big bird I use my grill. Grilled turkey tastes better and frees up the oven for other dishes, like the stuffing. I use my pressure cooker for prep work, make turkey broth, gravy, and cranberry sauce ahead of time; I use it as a side dish on the day itself, usually with sweet potatoes or squash.
If we have a smaller Thanksgiving, just the two of us, I’ll switch to the pressure cook turkey. I love dark turkey, so I pressure-cook some thighs or drumsticks and choose our favorite side dishes.
So, here it is, my roundup of Thanksgiving recipes. Good luck on T-Day!
