Elevate Your Feast:
5 Easy Ways to Add Olive Oil to
Thanksgiving Classics

Thanksgiving doesn’t have to be predictable. With a few quick swaps and smart drizzles, your holiday spread can go from traditional to totally unforgettable. At Bodacious, we believe in bold flavor and simple upgrades—and that starts with our premium infused olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Ready to reimagine your feast? Let’s dig in.

1. Butter EVOO in Mashed Potatoes

Why melt sticks of butter when you can swirl in our Butter Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil? It delivers all the creamy richness with none of the dairy—and adds a silky texture that takes your taters over the top. Bonus: it’s vegan-friendly and packed with healthy fats.

Quick Tip: Start with 2–3 tablespoons per pound of potatoes and adjust to taste.

2. Garlic EVOO on Green Beans

Skip the heavy casserole and let fresh, vibrant green beans shine with a simple toss in Garlic Infused EVOO. Roast or sauté with slivered almonds or crispy shallots for texture and a garlicky finish that rivals the classic—without drowning it in soup.

Quick Tip: Drizzle before roasting or right before serving for maximum flavor.

3. Fig Balsamic Glaze for Your Turkey

Brine, roast, and then brush. A generous glaze of our Italian Fig Dark Balsamic adds a gorgeous caramelized finish to your bird—and an unexpected touch of sweet sophistication.

Quick Tip: Mix 2 parts Fig Balsamic with 1 part Garlic or Tuscan Herb EVOO and baste during the final 15 minutes of roasting.

4. Wild Mushroom & Sage EVOO in Stuffing

Bring earthy elegance to your stuffing with Wild Mushroom & Sage EVOO. It mimics the depth of sausage or mushrooms—without the extra prep. Perfect for both veggie-forward and traditional stuffings.

Quick Tip: Use it to sauté your onions, celery, and aromatics before tossing with the bread cubes.

5. Cranberry Sauce with a Twist

Take your cranberries from basic to brilliant by stirring in a splash of Pomegranate Balsamic. It intensifies the tart fruitiness while adding a little complexity that your guests won’t see coming.

Quick Tip: Add 1–2 teaspoons while the sauce simmers for a pop of flavor.

Go Beyond the Gravy

This Thanksgiving, it’s not about reinventing the wheel—it’s about elevating what you already love. With Bodacious oils and vinegars, every dish becomes an opportunity to impress. Whether you’re hosting the full spread or just bringing a side, these flavorful additions guarantee you’ll be the talk of the table.

Pour it. Drizzle it. Roast with it. Taste the Bodacious difference.
