Fall Charcuterie Boards (perfect for Thanksgiving!) (2024)

These Fall Charcuterie Boards feature cozy cheeses, harvest fruits, and more seasonal foods that will elevate your fall entertaining. Spice up your snacking game and savor the flavors of fall!

We had some friends over last week and I decided charcuterie would be the easiest thing for me to do since everyone is bound to find something they like.

I created these fall charcuterie boards after a quick trip to the grocery store.

I already had several crackers and meats in my food storage, but I did need to get several fresh ingredients from the store. I spent about $70 on the food. It fed 11 people one night, 6 people the next night, and we still have lots of the veggies left over.

That’s about $4 per serving! Pretty good for charcuterie and cheaper than eating out at most restaurants.

This recipe works because it:

• Minimizes food waste. This recipe offers a smart solution for using up leftovers creatively, minimizing food waste. You can grab any meats, cheeses, and produce you have in your fridge to create fall charcuterie board.
• Requires no cooking: The beauty of this charcuterie board is its no-cook nature. This recipe features a variety of ready-to-eat items, saving time and effort while still delivering a gourmet feel.
• Is completely customizable: Whether you need to accommodate dietary preferences or tailor it to personal tastes, the Turkey Charcuterie Board is highly customizable. You can easily adapt the ingredients to include gluten-free, nut-free, or vegetarian options, ensuring everyone can enjoy the meal.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Wash all produce.

Arrange the bowls and dishes on the boards. I like to do 3 bowls on rectangle boards and 2 bowls on circular boards.

Start with the crackers and breads first and fan them around the bowls on the boards.

Next, add in the meats. You can fold pieces into triangles or roll them to add dimension to the boards.

Add the fruits and vegetables to the board.

Fill in any empty spaces with dried fruits and cheeses.

Add the dips to the bowls. Try to put the dips around the foods that make the most sense. So hummus by crackers and breads and ranch dip by the vegetables.

Recipe Tips and Substitutions

You likely won’t use the full package of any ingredients for these boards, so you’ll have leftovers you can use to refill the boards or save for another event.

It will save time if you have all of the extra food prepped (produce washed and cheese cut) before you serve the charcuterie board so you can easily refill it during your party.

This recipe is completely customizable. So you can change out any of the ingredients to your taste.

Here are some other options to try:

• Grapes
• Orange slices
• Cucumber slices
• Figs
• Olives
• Pretzels
• Salami
• Mini brie wheels
• Cheese ball
