Easy Roast Turkey with No-Roux Gravy
It’s important to follow the measurements for the salt and to use a low-sodium stock (or, better yet, a homemade one) for this recipe—otherwise, the gravy could wind up being too salty.

The New Classic Stuffing
A protein like sausage lends the stuffing those all-important crispy bites, and the fat contributes essential flavor.

Turkey Breast with Roasted Broccolini
You can find Chinese five-spice powder, a combination of star anise, fennel, cinnamon, Sichuan peppercorns, and cloves, at many supermarkets. We really like the fresh intensity and balance of the five-spice powder from World Spice .

Hard Cider Gravy
Hard cider is really wonderful to cook with: It adds a bit of sweetness, acidity, and a hint of apple. And the leftovers are great in an autumnal cocktail. Check out step-by-step photos here.

Sweet Potato Grits
Edna Lewis once said, “People should really leave grits alone.” We won’t argue with the queen, but Kia Damon’s creamy, custardy roasted sweet potato grits are proof that all rules have exceptions.

Apple–Brown Sugar Pie
Chilling the filled pie before baking helps it keep its shape; preroasting the apples packs in more flavor.

Savory Sweet Potato Casserole
Brown butter and rosemary are the ultimate, timeless pairing for sweet potatoes. Making your own breadcrumbs from sourdough bread shoots this recipe into all-star status, but using store-bought in a pinch is perfectly fine too.

Extra-Buttery Mashed Potatoes
For this mashed potato recipe, drying the cooked potatoes in the pan means that they'll absorb that much more flavor from your herb-infused dairy.

Loaded Sweet Potatoes
We like to roast the sweet potatoes ahead of time then rewarm them by flattening and crisping them in a skillet until lightly charred.

Expertly Spiced and Glazed Roast Turkey
The absolute inarguably best way to cook a well-seasoned, juicy turkey is to break it down into parts, dry-brine it, and roast it on a wire rack in a baking sheet.

Ultra-Creamy Mashed Potatoes
We're ready to declare these the fluffiest, creamiest, and easiest mashed potatoes ever. Unpeeled potatoes absorb less moisture when boiled, and the ricer will catch the skins—great news for lazy cooks everywhere.

Very Classic Dry-Brined Roast Turkey
The brine doesn't just keep the meat juicy—it helps deliver that beautiful browned skin. If you feel like skipping the infused-butter baste, brush occasionally with a light coat of extra-virgin olive oil to get that golden brown skin.
