While traditional Thanksgiving dishes hold a special place in our hearts, adding a touch of Italian food to your table can elevate the dining experience to new heights. Join us this month as we dive in to discuss some of our favorite recipes to try this holiday season!

Olive all’Ascolana

Start your Italian-inspired Thanksgiving with a delightful appetizer that will have your guests asking for more. Olive all’Ascolana, or Ascolana-style stuffed olives, are a popular Italian snack. These green olives are stuffed with a savory mixture of ground meat, Parmesan cheese, and herbs, then breaded and fried to golden perfection. Serve them with a side of marinara sauce for extra flavor.

Butternut Squash Ravioli with White Wine Sauce

While mashed potatoes are a Thanksgiving staple, consider adding a pasta dish that combines the richness of butternut squash with white wine sauce. Butternut Squash Ravioli is a comforting yet sophisticated addition to your table. The sweet and nutty flavor of the squash-filled pasta pairs beautifully with a light white wine sauce, creating a dish that is sure to become a new holiday favorite.

Turkey Breast Roulade with Mushroom Stuffing

Give the traditional turkey a makeover by preparing a turkey breast roulade with mushroom stuffing. This dish not only looks impressive but also allows for a quicker and more even cooking process compared to a whole turkey. The turkey breast is rolled around a flavorful stuffing made with mushrooms, herbs, and breadcrumbs, creating a succulent centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table. 

Oven-Roasted Chestnuts

For a taste of Italy’s autumnal charm, include oven-roasted chestnuts in your Thanksgiving menu. Roasting chestnuts in the oven is a simple yet nostalgic process that infuses your home with a delightful aroma. The warm, buttery flavor of chestnuts adds a touch of rustic elegance to your feast, making them a perfect accompaniment to both savory and sweet dishes. Serve them as a snack or incorporate them into stuffing!
