When it comes to a traditional Thanksgiving feast, most families sink their teeth into turkey. But in a country as culturally diverse as ours, it’s not surprising that every family has a different spin on the holiday, serving up a number of delicious dishes. From lasagna to a piping hot bowl of black bean soup, many of us turn to tried and true family recipes when whipping up a Thanksgiving feast.

Mashable reports about some of their staff's favorite family dishes and how our vibrant mix of cultures eat different foods for Thanksgiving that go way beyond your everyday turkey and stuffing. Read on and find out how to enter to win a $250 Philips Airfryer this Thanksgiving!

One Eastern European favorite replaces the standard bowl of Thanksgiving mashed potatoes with a tasty recipe for crispy fried latkes. These can be served with some apple sauce to add a little sweet to the savory.

If you want to bring an Asian flare to your macaroni and cheese casserole, adding some Korean kimchi to the dish will give it some bite. And when the leftover turkey is taking up too much space in the fridge, chop it up and throw it into turkey fried rice for a delicious post-Thanksgiving day dish.

Stuffing is always a great dish to alter since you can throw so many different spices and ingredients in that go awesome with a turkey. A Middle Eastern style stuffing recipe called Persian basmati rice stuffing is made with pomegranate paste, goat cheese and turkey stock. The savory sweet mix can also be made vegetarian if you substitute vegetable broth for turkey stock.

And can there really be an Italian Thanksgiving without something saucy and cheesy? A vegetarian manicotti can substitute a lot of side dishes that go great with your turkey. A well-stocked antipasto platter is sure to satisfy any guest’s pre-dinner snack needs.

Pies are delicious, pies are great! But so are cookies. A traditional Argentian cookie known as alfajores. Soft and buttery goodness, the cookies are filled with dulce-de-leche that is sure to melt in your mouth.

A mix of this, a mix of that is really what Thanksgiving is all about. Add in a good time with friends and family and every feast is complete!

Enter to win a Philips Airfryer with Rapid Air Technology, valued at $249.99! The Philips Airfryer uses hot air in rapid circulation to fry all kinds of foods. It has a timer with automatic shut-off, a pull-out basket and cleans up in the dishwasher.

To enter for a chance to win, please share your family favorite Thanksgiving dishes that will make it to the table this year in the comments below.

I love pumpkin pie made from a fresh pumpkin. When I lived in China a few years ago, they didn't have canned pumpkin at the store, so I had to make my pie from fresh pumpkin. Oh my it was so good! Now maybe I'll get to discover something else new- the air-fryer.

Bit late, but with the benefit of hindsight, I can say that this year, I totally made some vegan mac and cheese for Thanksgiving. Poor unsuspecting meat eaters! Muahah

I think this would be great so I stop almost burning down the house and myself. I'm a great cook people just get scared when I do. Love the stuffing we make and home made gravy over it really is the best part of Thanksgiving!

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving, we celebrate a Biblical Holyday called "Sukkot" which is pretty much like the original thanksgiving. Lol! My favorite Thanksgiving type food has to be the desserts though! Yum! :P

My favorite is my homemade pumpkin pies. I roast my own pumpkins, and make my own dough! Better than anything you could ever get out of a can!

It's a tie between my grandma's homemade mashed potatoes and my aunt's green bean casserole, both are yummy!

I love my moms sweet potato casserole. She does the brown sugar and pecan topping and it's so delicious. It has the perfect amount of sweetness with the added crunch from the nuts that makes it so amazing. I look forward to it every year.
