Some dishes are traditional, and some are not what you'd expect.

Here's a look at what some stars have said over the years about their go-to dishes:

Ripa's family isn't big on turkey after they experienced a Thanksgiving disaster one year. The family had a handful of unexpected guests, and the oven went out, leaving half of the turkey raw.

Instead, Ripa makes different kinds of proteins on the holiday.

"Joaquin is really big on the sage and butter pork chop," she said. "He loves it so much! My daughter is more like my people. We like a whipped mashed potato, but we also like a mashed sweet potato. We like anything mashed and carbohydrate."

Kristin Cavallari

Cavallari has released multiple cookbooks, and her Thanksgiving day spread is usually a mix of her favorite recipes.

"I’m gonna be doing the stuffing that’s in the book [and] the gluten-free and dairy-free pecan pie," she told Us Weekly last year ahead of the holiday. "I’m gonna do the spicy deviled eggs as an appetizer and I’m gonna do the apple pie from True Roots, the butternut squash mash and then the crispy brussels sprouts. So, quite a lot of stuff!"

Hadid tends to focus on desserts during the holiday, calling herself "the pie girl."

"I always make pies for Thanksgiving. I'm the pie girl," she told WWD. "I love rhubarb pie, I love apple pie and pumpkin pie and blackberry pie — but sometimes that mixes with the rhubarb into one [pie]."

"My dad does really good stuffing and all of the meat, and my mom is the best for buttered carrots and cranberry Jell-O, or whatever you call it. Bella does dessert. Anwar just eats, and I do pie," the supermodel added.
