Thanksgiving's here and the food blogging universe is bursting at its seams with recipes and tips for the family holiday.

Enstars sifted through the riffraff and mined the most promising and exciting recipes for this season.

For those who are looking to steer clear of the gluttonous decadence, Grub Street recommends a healthy olive oil-based spread. The menu is missing the turkey but for those who are not too particular about the traditional meal, this simple feast strikes the perfect balance between sumptuous and light. It features dishes like a whole roasted salmon with preserved-lemon, caper and dill sauce for the entree, corn salad with peppers and wilted kale with butternut squash, raisins and aged sharp cheddar for sides, and shaved-brussel-sprout salad and zucchini, apple, and sage latkes for appetizers.

While Saveur has gone all out with an exhaustive list of recipes, for anyone and everyone, from the farmhouse to the gluten-free spread and the southern-styled to the Mexican-inspired feast, the writers at the food blog have nailed it with their 'Crowdpleasing Menu.' This spread features every staff member's favorite Thanksgiving dish making it eclectic and invigorating. The menu features cheddar cheese biscuits, sage brined turkey, spinach Madeleine and an Autumn Panazella salad.

Head on over to the website if you are looking for something very specific, they seem to have it all covered.

Gourmet has not only got a host of interesting menus for the special evening but a whole variety of elaborate recipes for the turkey like the plum-glazed roast turkey with spinach, bacon, cashew stuffing and plum gravy, and the miso-rubbed turkey with turkey gravy.

Food & Wine is the best blog visit if you are vegetarian and are looking for good alternatives for the turkey, like Saveur and Grub Street, the website also has a bunch of healthy recipes.

First we Feast has got some tricks and tips for people who fear they don't have enough time to prepare the centerpiece of the spread, having worked out the 45 minute turkey.

Also check out some exclusive recipes, The Chew co-host, chef Carla Hall, shared with Enstars earlier this month. Hall also gave us some efficiency enhancing tips for D-Day.
