How many sides should you have at Thanksgiving?
The best way to decide on how many sides to serve on Thanksgiving is to know the number of your guests. If you’re having a large group, the more options, the better.
For example, if you’ll only be celebrating with four people, four smaller batches of side dishes will suffice. For eight people, consider making five to six sides, and for sixteen people aim for six up to eight sides.
