9 celebrities share their favorite Thanksgiving dishes

The Empire alum points out that the best Thanksgiving dishes almost always come from family. “There's nothing better than grandma's greens,” she says. “I am a greens freak. That's me. I get everything at first and then I go back for the greens because grandma's greens.”

Stuffing isn’t just Emma Roberts’ favorite Thanksgiving food. For the actress the food is a year-round fave. “Stuffing is my favorite food in the world!” she told Us. “I actually have been known to go buy stuffing and make it in the middle of summer.”

While the vegetarian meat substitute might not make an appearance on many holiday tables, it’s the number one item on Bell’s list. The vegetarian star credits her parents for her love of the dish, adding, “It’s awesome. It’s so great. You’ll have to try it!”

The Trinidad and Tobago-born rapper has her favorite dishes no matter whether she’s attending an American-style celebration or a Trini bash. "It depends on if it's an American Thanksgiving, then I'd love some collard greens, some mac and cheese, stuffing and turkey,” she told The Boom Box. “But if it's a Trini[dadian] Thanksgiving, then I want the same thing I always want, which is curry chicken, roti, oxtails. The same old thing that we always eat."

“I'll eat stuffing past the point where it's comfortable just because it so tastes so good,” admits the movie star (and every honest Thanksgiving diner).

That’s not just any pumpkin pie, mind you. It’s the pumpkin pie from Little Pie Company in New York. The pie has become a family tradition dating back over a decade, and the Parker family might be entirely responsible for the company’s holiday bump -- but that poses a few challenges too, like storage. Parker told People they store pies in the laundry room and in the car, and they end up eating pie for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

“I’m Cuban! We don’t follow the rules. I like turkey,” she revealed during her “X Factor” days.
