Turkey is certainly the most popular and common dish for a Thanksgiving dinner in the United States and Canada. However, this year The New York Times has put together more than 50 Thanksgiving recipes, which are very unusual and popular in the US.
With the help of Google's science team, The New York Times has listed unique Thanksgiving recipes, which are googled in every state over the last 10 years, from 2004 to 2013. The researcher looked for most distinct recipes, rather than searching for most popular as it would turkey dishes.
