The Best Thanksgiving Dishes You Need To Make

Candied Yams

While candied yams aren’t your everyday side dish as they are very sweet, the sweetness of the yams complements the savory turkey and gravy perfectly. Over medium heat, combine sugar, orange juice, butter, cinnamon stick, nutmeg, salt and a splash of bourbon for an alcoholic kick.

Bring it to a boil and then let it simmer until the sauce has thickened. Add a cinnamon stick for extra flavor and pour the mixture over the sliced yams. Make sure the potatoes are basted throughout cooking.
