No looks forward to Thanksgiving for the turkey. Even though 46 million turkeys are eaten every year for Thanksgiving, it’s really all about the sides and the dessert. Enter, these Thanksgiving dessert boards.

And, maybe a different protein for the main course. Might we suggest something plant-based? Mmm…kale.

From pumpkin pie to apple pie bread to pecan bars, the Thanksgiving dessert table is where it’s at. Especially since we got booted from sitting with the adults. (Yes, this plastic chair is very comfy, thanks for asking.) So, here’s a collection of dessert boards that are pretty sweet. Literally. (If you need a board, we like this one.)

Thanksgiving Dessert Boards

1. Mini Pie Dessert Board

Yes. Just simply yes. Don’t like apple pie? Pick a different pie! This Thanksgiving dessert board is filled with mini pies flavored with pumpkin, pecan, apple, and sweet potato. Separately. Though, now we have a terrible terrible idea.

The Reluctant Entertainer shows how to recreate her fall pie board here and she’s even got a board cookbook if you need a gift idea for a friend who loves to cook (or eat).

2. Cute Turkey Dessert Board

On Board with Bree‘s festive board features the please get them out of my house before I eat all of them Maple Cookies from Trader Joe’s, sour rope, caramel corn, Reese’s Pieces and more. You know what, we’ll just skip the pie.

3. Thanksgiving Fruit Board

This so cute we can’t possibly eat it Thanksgiving dessert board by Little Lunchbox Diary is made using fruit (the turkey is a pear) and red bell peppers. It’s perfect for anyone who says fruit is nature’s candy. And for a palate cleanser between bites of pie.

5. Thanksgiving Pie Dessert Board

She’s a Tart knows what’s up. Use that leftover candy corn like Pizza Hut used to use kale and decorate this pie board filled with Chess Pie, Pumpkin Pie, and Apple Pie. And freshly made whipped cream.

6. Cookies and Cheese Thanksgiving Board

This Thanksgiving charcuterie board by Dream Boards features fall fruits, chocolate acorns, and leaf-shaped cookies, but it isn’t strictly desserts. However, since the outlier is cheese, we’ll let it slide. (Here’s a similar wooden pumpkin platter to build your own.)
