If you’re as excited for Thanksgiving as I am, then you’ve already got at least some of your menu planned out. But for the one holiday of the year that’s centered around traditional food, it never hurts to check out some new and exciting recipes. Here’s our Thanksgiving edition of headlines!
Bacon Quiche Biscuit Cups
To start off with, you might serve up this adaptation of a popular Pillsbury recipe that can be somewhat time consuming, but a great way to start of your Thanksgiving Day. Tasting similar to a muffin, these Biscuit Cups feature bacon, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, onions, milk and Pillsbury Grands! Biscuit Dough.

Lamb Empadillas
This blogger confesses she didn’t have a recipe in mind when she bought ground lamb. However, what she came up with is a something not to challenging, but that will really impress your guests on the big day. Take a cookie cutter to your Pillsbury Pie Crusts, cover with a nice egg wash, fill with a fried mixture of onions, garlic, pine nuts, lamb, olives and seasoning, and bake until ready. Great for dinner or as an appetizer!

Dairy and Nut Free Apple Crumb Pie
Popular food allergy expert and author Kelly Rudnicki calls this recipe “perfect for any holiday table, especially Thanksgiving.” The filling is that of a pretty traditional apple pie: apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon, flour and salt. However, for your crumb topping, you’ll find oats, brown sugar, margarine (dairy free, according to the recipe) and more seasoning. Place it all inside a Pillsbury Refrigerated Pie Crust and you’ve got a dessert you’re guests will be asking for at dinnertime!

Crunch Caramel Cookie Bars
Although this isn’t overtly Thanksgiving-themed, we doubt anyone will mind. Every time the folks over at Picky-Palate.com decide to create something using Pillsbury Sugar Cookie Dough, we know we’re in for a treat. Along with crushed pretzels, peanut butter cups, and both caramel and chocolate chips, this recipe is definitely a winner for your holiday cookie plates.
