Here is the perfect board to take as an appetizer to Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving this season. It comes together quickly and below you’ll find my detailed Trader Joe’s shopping list.
There are no rules for what you should put on a charcuterie board for Thanksgiving, but I like to keep it seasonal with a good mix of meat and cheeses, fruit, nuts and accompaniments and dips.
I found that seasonal items such as persimmons and blackberries instantly give this Thanksgiving appetizer fall vibes. The rosemary and sage create visual interest, aroma and also a nod to the season.
The cheeses I share below are some of my favorites from Trader Joe’s. While I switch the accompanimentments on my board to fit the theme and the season, the cheese, bread and meats usually are the same.

Personalizing Your Thanksgiving Charcuterie Board
How did I make the cheese letters that spelled “Thankful”? I used alphabet cookie cutters. You can find them here!
