Thanksgiving Charcuterie Board packed with cheeses, cured meats, seasonal fruits, mini meat pies, pumpkin roll, and other fall/autumn treats.

I absolutely love entertaining with charcuterie boards because they have been so well received over the past few holidays. A beautifully arranged board is not only a feast for the palate but also for the eyes. I only started serving with boards last year during Christmas and so did not have an opportunity to prepare a Thanksgiving Charcuterie Board up until now. Here it is today for future Thanksgiving celebrations.

Planning Your Board

It really is not hard to put together a board of goodies. It just requires some thought and planning. Not everything has to be homemade. There are many delicious finger foods out there that you can purchase for your board. If you plan on serving homemade treats, try to choose foods that you can make ahead.

Fall/Autumn Favorites

Pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and pies are Thanksgiving must-haves. For this board, I made Pumpkin Rolls using a yellow cake mix and Brownies using a brownie mix. I also made Sweet Potato Balls and Mini Meat Pies using store bought mini pie crust assembled the day before. Deep frying and baking were done on the day of serving. As for the dips, two were store bought except for the Strawberry Jalapeno Jam which I will be sharing soon.

Have fun with the presentation. Use seasonal serving bowls and picks to skewer smaller food items. Add seasonal fruits like persimmon, figs, pomegranate, cranberries, and grapes to fill in the gaps. The possibilities are endless.

I placed this Thanksgiving Charcuterie Board on a lazy susan at the table so that everyone can easily reach over to get what they want. Each person took their turkey and side dishes from the kitchen island before they sat down. This worked out well for a small group of people and we all had a good time grazing at the table. 🙂
