What Are Some of the Favorite Thanksgiving Side Dishes?

We all know most families will typically celebrate with a turkey, but the meal is really more about all the amazing side dishes. Allrecipes has gathered the data to determine what side dishes are the most popular in every state.

If there is one thing I love seeing on that Thanksgiving table, it’s oyster dressing. It’s stuffing made from hard bread crumbs (start out with croutons). It includes oysters and lots of butter. You also use the traditional veggies like onions, garlic and celery. My brother, Mike makes the most spectacular oyster dressing. I could eat this dish all year long. I’m not really a fan of cornbread dressing.
