There’s always been a lot to love about Thanksgiving, but even a tradition as great as Turkey Day can use a little spice up from time to time. And no, we’re not talking about hopping on the deep-fried turkey trend and potentially sending your bird into the stratosphere because your deep-frier went Kaboom while you were watching the game inside…

Thanksgiving meal preparation can be hectic and at times overwhelming. There seems to be an infinite number of dishes to prepare and mouths to feed, especially when you’re the host. We don’t think that should be the case though, and if you happen to have a grill available wherever you’re hosting Thanksgiving this year, then give these recipes a crack.
