You love a traditional Thanksgiving feast, but you pretty much know what mains and sides to expect every year (roast turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, etc.). Starters, on the other hand, can be deliciously unexpected. From beer cheese soup to artichoke dip bites to crispy mushrooms, here are 74 Thanksgiving appetizers that will kick off your holiday with a bang.
They're equal parts classy, impressive and simple, so even first-time hostesses can pull them off without breaking a sweat. Many of these ideas can also be prepared ahead, so you'll have one less thing to do on the big day if you make a dish in advance. Thank me on Black Friday.
