Fire up the Traeger; it’s time to make a Thanksgiving meal, BBQ-style. Every dish on this menu was cooked on the pit, from the turkey to the pie. We’re serving up Cajun Smoked Turkey Breast, Maple Butter Carrots, Green Bean Casserole, Smoked Gouda Mashed Potatoes, and Sweet Potato Pie.
This mouth-watering menu comes together quickly and tastes fabulous. Let me take the guesswork out of planning Thanksgiving..at least for one year. Who knows, BBQ Thanksgiving may become a family tradition!
Cooking on the Traeger has never been better. This decadent meal contains everything you need to have one fantastic holiday. Friends and family will talk about this dinner for years to come.
As always, I jazzed up a typical meal with some stellar seasonings and rubs. They’re the cherry on top of a fabulous menu.
My Thanksgiving menu contains five delicious dishes, each with its own set of unique components. Here’s what each element includes.
Here’s the primary equipment I used to make this meal. You can find more of my grilling must-haves in the equipment and tools section.
You can find a detailed demonstration of these recipes in the recipe card and video at the bottom of the post. Here’s a brief overview of how I pulled this dinner together.
Thanksgiving dinner was cooked in about 3 ½ hours. You can’t beat that! Using two grills kept things efficient and simple. The result was a great menu with a similar flavor profile. Each dish complemented the other, and was top-notch.
There’s no need to cater Thanksgiving dinner when grilling it is this easy.
If you find yourself with leftovers, you can save them for another meal. The turkey breast will last about 3-4 days in the fridge, longer in the freezer. Our glazed carrots will last 3-5 days in the fridge; I don’t recommend freezing them as the texture can be off when they thaw.
The mashed potatoes and green bean casserole will last 3–5 days in the fridge and up to 10 months in the freezer. Remember that your thawed dish may be different from the original, but it should still have the same great flavor. You can keep the sweet potato pie in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze it for a month.
