Homemade Pumpkin Pie

A traditional Thanksgiving dinner consists of turkey, stuffed with onions and celery, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn on the cob, biscuits, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. Turkey is the most well-known Thanksgiving food, but it’s not always the most popular. Thanksgiving favorites vary by region, but pumpkin pie tends to be the most beloved in the United States.
