Who decided Thanksgiving had to be all turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes? This year, we’re going rogue, one grill mark at a time. Whether you’re hosting a Friendsgiving, cooking for two, or just craving something fresher than the usual carb-fest, these recipes prove that flavor doesn’t need tradition’s permission slip.

 

Every dish here was made on a Kenyon Grill, where you get all the caramelized edges, smoky notes, and golden crispness, no open flame and no oven juggling required.

 


 

Appetizer: The Best Way to Use Up Leftovers

 

Thanksgiving Grilled Flatbread

When the big day’s over but the fridge is still full, this flatbread is your new tradition. Layer your favorite Thanksgiving leftovers — turkey, cranberry sauce, roasted veggies, even mashed potatoes, and let the grill do the rest. Crispy, melty, and way better than another sandwich.


 

 Mains: The New Center of Attention

 

Turkey Burgers with Cranberry Mayo & Brie

All the Thanksgiving flavor you love — in handheld form. Tart cranberry mayo meets creamy Brie, and suddenly you’ll wonder why you ever needed a carving knife.

Pork Chop with Pumpkin Demi-Glace

Rich, savory, and just a touch sweet — this dish could make even the turkey jealous.

Mustard-Rubbed Rack of Lamb

For when you’re ready to make an impression. The grill locks in that golden crust and tender interior — no fancy oven roasting required.

Apple-Stuffed Grilled Ham Steaks with Honey Bourbon Glaze

Smoky, salty, sweet, and just a little boozy — basically everything you want from a main dish at once.

 


 

 Sides: Because You Can’t Have a Holiday Without Them

 

Grilled Brussels Sprouts with Pistachios & Pomegranate

Crispy on the outside, tender inside, and jeweled with pomegranate seeds. Even Brussels-sprout skeptics will go back for seconds.

Grilled Honey Butternut Squash

Sweet, sticky, and caramelized — a simple side that tastes like autumn comfort.


 

Desserts & Morning-After Treats

 

Apple Pie Bites

All the comfort of apple pie — none of the crust drama. These are bite-sized happiness straight from the grill.

Pumpkin Pancakes

Thanksgiving morning or the morning after, these pancakes bring cozy spice and golden edges to your holiday brunch. Top with maple syrup, whipped cream, or leftover cranberry sauce if you’re feeling bold.


 

 A New Tradition in the Making

 

Whether you’re skipping the turkey or just shaking up your menu, these dishes prove that “Thanksgiving food” is whatever you make it. Warm, unexpected, and made entirely on the grill — no smoke alarms, no stress, and no rules.

If you’re ready to start your own Alt Thanksgiving tradition, grab your ingredients, fire up the your Kenyon Grill, and let the holiday creativity begin.
