Before the sides hit the table and the turkey is carved, keep your family and friends happy with satisfying Thanksgiving appetizers. They’re the secret to hosting a stress-free Thanksgiving. While preparing the main meal, guests can be satisfied with appetizers like cheese straws, BLT poppers, baked Brie with cranberry sauce, cheese toasties, spinach balls, spinach artichoke dip, and more. Prepare ahead of time and pop it in the oven right before guests arrive for a hot and comforting appetizer.
