With Thanksgiving right around the corner, preparation is well underway. This year, though, you may see less roast turkey on Turkey Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Thanksgiving with no roast turkey? This may seem drastic to some \u2013 it is an iconic main, after all \u2013 however, a recent study found that roast turkey isn\u2019t<\/em> the most popular Thanksgiving recipe in 2022. Instead, people across America are searching for more meat-free recipes to impress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The study saw YorkTest<\/a> scour Google Keyword Planner data over the past year to determine which Thanksgiving recipe each state has a growing appetite for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although turkey-based dishes remain an iconic centerpiece for many, the recipe with the biggest rise in searches across America (4,959% higher than last year), and the most popular dish to be served during the November holiday, is, stuffed butternut squash<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Everyone celebrates Thanksgiving differently, though. Below, look through a state-by-state breakdown of the most popular holiday recipes this year. How has your state fared?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stuffed butternut squash has soared in popularity as the most searched-for recipe in 27 states, with a 400% search increase for stuffed butternut squash in Arkansas alone – the biggest increase for any recipe in any state. Since about ten percent of Americans over the age of 18 consider themselves vegan or vegetarian, this is most likely the go-to veggie main for this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Turkey roulade has also soared in popularity as the most popular Thanksgiving recipe in six states, undoubtedly to impress guests with some classy culinary skills. No one is more prepared though than those in South Carolina, where a 200% search increase for turkey roulade means you\u2019ll be rolling out more of the recipe than any other state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sweet corn pudding has become the most searched for recipe in four states, but nobody loves the semi-sweet quick bread more than the people of Michigan. A popular corn-bread based recipe, sweet corn pudding can go alongside almost any main dish, so it\u2019s no surprise that it\u2019s making an appearance for the national get-together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kerri Ferraioli, expert nutritionist at YorkTest<\/a>, commented on the research:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStuffed butternut squash is a great party centerpiece which can be filled with a wide range of things. However, considering around <\/a>33 million<\/a> Americans have food allergies, the mix of fillings used in this popular recipe may leave you unable to get your party hat on. To avoid any discomfort this Thanksgiving, we suggest doing a <\/a>food sensitivity test<\/a> to see what food you can get stuck into without getting weighed down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTraditionally, Thanksgiving is a very turkey-focussed celebration, so it\u2019s great to see a rising appreciation for vegetarian and vegan recipes across the nation \u2013 butternut squash is a great source of antioxidants, including vitamin C and vitamin E.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFor those who would never stray from a turkey centerpiece, turkey roulade is a fun twist to the traditional roast turkey that will no doubt leave your guests impressed\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nSo, what\u2019s for dinner?\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
