Holidays are all about tradition, but what happens when you’re tired of a tradition? The problem is that the traditional turkey for Thanksgiving (and then Christmas shortly after) can get pretty boring year after year. If you’re like us, you take a small symbolic slice of turkey or ham and then fill your plate with yummy side items. Why not try something new this Thanksgiving instead, with our turkey-dinner alternatives?
This year has been anything but traditional, so it’s the perfect year to switch things up for your holiday table. We’ve come up with some easy and delicious ideas that will please your taste buds and complement the traditional side dishes you never tire of. Here’s to new, fun, and yummy holiday traditions!
Orange Pomegranate Baked Salmon
Orange Pomegranate Baked Salmon is a beautiful main dish that would look amazing and taste amazing. Simply bake salmon with pomegranate seeds and orange slices, making for a colorful display when laid on a platter. Red onions, olive oil, and fresh dill add additional flavor and color.
Crab Topped Salmon
Broiled Lobster Tails
Crab and Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms
These are a great appetizer or amuse-bouche for your holiday guests. Simply stuff mushroom caps with a mixture of fresh crabmeat, cream cheese, shredded cheese, and bacon, and bake. Keep your guests’ and family’s mouths busy while you put the finishing touches on your holiday spread!
Surf and Turf
If you'd like to elevate your dinner table this season with a decadent selection from both land and sea, our full beef tenderloin surf and turf pairings are for you. These five-star feasts combine three of our most sought-after seafood offerings, including Colossal Red King Crab Legs, Dungeness Crab Clusters, and our Snow Crab Clusters with a USDA Choice Full Beef Tenderloin.
King Crab Legs
Thinking about forgoing turkey and ham altogether this year? Our Alaskan King Crab Legs are the perfect supplement and are sure to create buzz around the buffet. When determining your serving size, we recommend 1-2 pounds of king crab per adult. However, those who come with an extra Thanksgiving appetite might want to go 2-3 pounds. We can go without mentioning that all of our king crab come pre-cooked and flash frozen to preserve the rich flavor. Simply thaw in the refrigerator the night before and warm using your preferred method for four minutes to heat through.
We’re convinced these Thanksgiving dinner alternatives are the best and most delicious way to freshen up your table this year. Don’t forget to always start with premium quality ingredients for the best results.
Have fun making new traditions! We wish you and yours a happy and appetizing Thanksgiving.
