1. Top 10 Thanksgiving Foods

2. #1 Stuffing/dressing

3. #2 Turkey Nature's sleeping aid. Deep-fried turkeys seem to be all the rage these days, and it is no wonder. The frying oil locks in the turkey's moisture, making for incredibly juicy and tender meat. With the help of flavor injectors like mesquite barbecue, you might not even need gravy.

4. #3 Mashed potatoes Simplicity is the best guideline for mashed potato recipes, but if you feel your Thanksgiving dinner is too standard, you can dress them up with garlic, cheese, bacon or just about anything.

5. #4 Ham Not everyone likes turkey. A glazed, spiral cut ham can add visual appeal to a Thanksgiving table and, when paired with a honey dijon sauce, can become one of the holiday's most beloved dishes.

6. #5 Cranberry It doesn't look natural. It's loaded with sugar. It's made from cranberries. Yet, these facts do nothing to explain our fascination with the mysterious, gelatinous substance. If you cut it up and eat it with your turkey, it's like having dessert before you finish your meal.

7. #6 Pumpkin pie Homemade or store-bought, it wouldn't be fall without pumpkin pie.

8. #7 Rolls/bread Bread serves many purposes at Thanksgiving, including soaking up gravy and cleansing taste palates between different foods.

9. #8 Sweet potatoes Though they find their way into a variety of dishes, sweet potatoes make a great standalone dish at Thanksgiving. Even if you skip serving them because you are not a fan, some guest will probably ask why they are missing.

10. #9 Green bean casserole Green beans are not the most enticing thing at the Thanksgiving table. Neither is casserole. However, with their powers combined, the green bean casserole becomes an unexpected favorite. You may not have leftovers of this.

11. #10 Turducken What is it? Turkey... stuffed with duck... stuffed with chicken. Have you ever had all three at the same time? It's something to try.
