Thanksgiving treats. Little tasty bites. Some even a bit healthy! That’s what I’m after for this Thanksgiving, and for the days leading up to Thanksgiving …. What better way to get in a festive mood with Thanksgiving – themed treats?!!
For the kids at the table, in snack, for Thanksgiving parties, and as pre-meal appetizers or as Thanksgiving dinner side dishes. You pick.
Sweet Thanksgiving Snacks
I have divvied my collection of Thanksgiving Snacks into ‘Sweet Thanksgiving Treats’, ‘Savory Thanksgiving Snacks’, and Post-Thanksgiving Snacks. Because well, who can really gobble up all that abundance in one long afternoon?!! Really. Me neither. Best things for last… Let’s start with some sweet stuff!

6. Turkey Chocolate Fondue
Just how pretty is this fruit and cracker turkey tray layout? … made this for her vegetarian family as a ‘turkey’ dessert: chocolate fondue. As we eat meat (still!?), I can see myself doing this as a Thanksgiving snack, even before the big day. Just to get into the festive mood of the holidays.

13. Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Cranberries, Apples & Pecans
These sweet potatoes are filled with goodies to make them into an amazing Thanksgiving side dish, that will be so yummy and so sweet (filled with cranberry, apples & pecans and then ‘glued’ together with apple sauce, maple sirop and a tat of butter – you get my picture….) that I can see people coming to the kitchen and kindly ‘taste’ this Thanksgiving side dish till it’s all gone… before the Thanksgiving dinner even starts. Hence…. best to make 2 servings of this and ‘dedicate’ one to being a ‘thanksgiving snack’…

23. Turkey Sandwiches
According to my hubby, you’re supposed to make thanksgiving dinner for 40 people, even if there are just six on the table that day, so that you can have Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches and snacks for the rest of the week as well. Ahum… Well, I suppose abundance is a good thing at Thanksgiving…
I don’t have a photo of this as my darling eats his turkey sandwiches within seconds after they are made, but the best recipe for thanksgiving turkey sandwiches is really simple.
1 Good bread, such as ciabatta. Two slices, hand cut. A knife to spread on the mayonnaise, generously, but not over the top. A more than generous layer of sliced turkey breast, with some of the dark meat and/or skin. Fresh cracked pepper, for fun. A single lettuce leave, so you can feel healthy-ish. Tomato & bacon bits optional. Enjoy!

24. Turkey Pesto Cranberry Melts
A variation on my hubby’s sandwich that looks delicious!

25. Celery Turkey Breast Treats
In case you have just a little bit of turkey left, make a spread out of it and serve it as mini appetizers before next dinner.
