What do you put on your relish tray? It seems to differ with what part of the country you are from and I want to mix it up a little this year. I have new in-laws to impress!
While we are on it, any good stuffing recipes out there?
<---- clueless little mexican girl from the valley, but what it a relish tray? Like condiments you use for the meal?
Maybe its a central/northern thing. Its like an snack tray sort of. My mom put baby gerkins, spicy dills, olives, pimento celery, and pickles okra on hers.
Dill pickles, sweet pickles (yuck! but my ILs like them), green olives and a tomato or 2 for color. Back before Kate was born and we had disposable income, I would buy lots of fancy olives too but no one ate them anyway.

Okay, yeah we break out the chips and salsa/guac if we get hungry. BUT we also eat on paper plates . We splurge and buy Chinet. We're totally not formal dinner people.
ETA: If you're making the turkey, I just pinned the recipe i use for the brine and roasting and it's great.

Just another reason that I love you!! Damn, no dishes on Thanksgiving?? Ummmm... this could totally work for me!
My mom makes a few different types of dips (ranch, not sure about the others) and then we have broccoli, cucumbers, cauliflower, red/yellow/orange bell peppers, celery, mushrooms, and sugar snap peas...I'm planning to fill up on this stuff as much as possible this year! We also do a fruit tray and I think we're going to try that pumpkin dip that has been floating around on Pinterest for it.
For our relish tray....we do pickles (a couple different types), olives, jalapenos, pickled okra and those little corn things. I have a pretty relish tray I like to use.

if you're doing your own turkey and want to do something a little less traditional... i have a cajun turkey on my blog (its brined as well). seriously so good. my ILs declared it the best turkey they'd had https://www.delish-blog.com/2008/11/foodbuzz-24-24-24-thanksgiving/
... can't help with the relish tray. i don't particularly care for pickles or olives ;-) we snack on chex mix before the big meal!
Re: Thanksgiving ?
What's a relish tray?
I LOVE Pioneer Woman's stuffing recipe. I could eat it all year long.
This.
ETA: Ahhhhh. We usually just do pickles (dill & B&B), olives (both), and we also have a standard veggie tray - with different dips.
