12 Thanksgiving sides to make if you only have 20 minutes

We get it: Between the turkey and the pies, Thanksgiving is as much a test in time management as it is a holiday. The good news, though, is not everything has to take hours to prep, cook, and serve if you don't want it to. If you know you're going to be crunched for time—or, like us, want a good variety in terms of quick and not-so-quick dishes—we have the sides for you.

Starting today and continuing the rest of the week, we're featuring Thanksgiving sides that take 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 2 hours and, lastly, ones for those who really want to plan ahead. Here are 12 sides that can be made in 20 minutes—and be sure to check back tomorrow (and the next day!) for more.
