What is your favorite thanksgiving dark horse dish?

Anonymous
Just thought this could be a fun thread this year! Besides the normal fare, what is a dish you are trying new this year that is different or one you tried in recent years that was a big hit? It can be a spin on old ingredients or something totally different! Kind of looking for inspiration to put one 'different' thing on the table this year.

Pumpkin creme brulee instead of pie.
Spicy chipotle sweet potatoes instead of marshmallowy/sweet ones.

A shaved brussel sprouts salad with orange segments, dried cranberries, pecans, and a citrus - olive oil dressing. Bright and fresh tasting, but with traditional Thanksgiving flavors. Don't have a real recipe, we used a few online sources for inspiration but basically ended up tossing together a bowl with whatever sounded good.

I was coming here to post this. I made this Barefoot Contessa recipe last year and it was a huge hit.

I have encouraged lots of vegetables and fruit versus the heavy dishes. Also some in-laws to my family mean some outstanding international dishes not just the regular Thanksgiving foods.

A rotisserie chicken. We have a small gathering, and I put out a rotisserie chicken and said it was small turkey as a joke. Everyone believed me and said how delicious it was. So here we go again!

Shredded Brussels sprouts. Wasn’t sure how they’d go over, but everyone loves them.
