The use of the turkey in the USA for Thanksgiving precedes Lincoln's nationalization of the holiday in 1863. Alexander Hamilton proclaimed that no "Citizen of the United States should refrain from turkey on Thanksgiving Day," and many of the Founding Fathers (particularly Benjamin Franklin) had high regard for the wild turkey as an American icon, but turkey was uncommon as Thanksgiving fare until after 1800. By 1857, turkey had become part of the traditional dinner in New England.[3]
A Thanksgiving Day dinner served to the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935 included: pickles, green olives, celery, roast turkey, oyster stew, cranberry sauce, giblet gravy, dressing, creamed asparagus tips, snowflake potatoes, baked carrots, hot rolls, fruit salad, mince meat pie, fruit cake, candies, grapes, apples, clams, fish, and many other food harvests. French drip coffee, cigars and cigarettes.[4]
The White House Cook Book, 1887, by Mrs. F.L. Gillette, et al., had the following menu: oysters on half shell, cream of chicken soup, fried smelts, sauce tartare, roast turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, baked squash, boiled onions, parsnip fritters, olives, chicken salad, venison pastry, pumpkin pie, mince pie, Charlotte russe, almond ice cream, lemon jelly, hickory nut cake, cheese, fruits and coffee.[5]
Side dish
A Thanksgiving meal in New England
Many other foods are typically served alongside the main dish—so many that, because of the amount of food, the Thanksgiving meal is sometimes served midday or early afternoon to make time for all the eating, and preparation may begin at dawn or on days prior. Copious leftovers are also common following the meal proper.
Traditional Thanksgiving foods are sometimes specific to the day, and although some of the foods might be seen at any semi-formal meal in the United States, the meal often has something of a ritual or traditional quality. Many Americans would say it is "incomplete" without cranberry sauce; stuffing or dressing; and gravy. Other commonly served dishes include winter squash; sweet potatoes; mashed potatoes; dumplings; noodles; corn on the cob or hominy; deviled eggs; green beans or green bean casserole; sauerkraut (among those in the Mid-Atlantic; especially Baltimore); peas and carrots; bread rolls; cornbread (in the south and parts of New England); or biscuits, rutabagas or turnips; and a salad. For dessert, various pies are often served, particularly apple pie, mincemeat pie, sweet potato pie, pumpkin pie, chocolate cream pie and pecan pie. In Québec, tourtière is usually served alongside as a traditional staple of Quebecois cuisine.

Pecan-Crusted Apple Tarts
Apples:
5 pounds apples, peeled, cored and each cut into 8 wedges
1 vanilla bean, sliced and scraped
1 Cinnamon stick
2 cups apple cider
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup cranberry juice
Topping:
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
2/3 cup whole oats
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1 cup toasted pecans
Preheat the oven to 400F.
In large heavy bottomed saucepan, over medium high heat combine vanilla, cinnamon, cider, orange juice and cranberry juice. Bring to simmer and add apples.
Lower heat, cover and let cook until apples are tender but not mushy. Approx 10 minutes.
While apples are cooking combine all the ingredients for the topping in a medium mixing bowl. With a fork or your fingers, work the topping together to thoroughly combine. Add pecans and toss gently.
Once apples are cooked, transfer to an oven ready baking dish with slotted spoon.
Return the liquid back to medium high heat and cook a further 10-12 minutes to reduce the liquid into a thin sauce. Remove from heat and let sit. Sauce will thicken as it cools so be careful not to reduce to far.
While liquid is reducing, sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples and place in oven on middle rack.
Cook apples until topping has crisped and begins to brown, being careful not to burn the pecans.
To serve: place a heaping spoonful of apples in a serving bowl and top with sauce.
Serving suggestion: Top with dollop of with plain fat-free Greek yogurt.
