    I love the variety of appetizers! They would all make great appetizers for Thanksgiving. The cream cheese green chile dip and crockpot artichoke dip are two of my family’s favorites!

    Having a charcuterie board out for people to snack on while the Turkey Dinner Is being prepped is such a good idea! And this one looks so yummy. I love this collection of other appetizers as well. I’ve tried a few of the recipes in this collection and they’re all delicious!

    My favorite appetizer by far in this collection is the Turkey Veggie Tray. I make it every year and it’s a hit with both the adults and kids!
