Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is the one holiday where the sides are the main event and everyone has opinions about the stuffing. This collection covers the whole day — from the No-Chill French Toast Casserole that keeps Thanksgiving morning from turning into chaos, to the last slice of pie after everyone has already said they couldn’t eat another bite.

For the bird, the Herb-Infused Buttermilk Brined Turkey and the Hazelnut Crusted Turkey Breast are the two I reach for depending on the size of the crowd. The sides that never leave my Thanksgiving table: Brown Butter Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Cranberry Apple Stuffing, Orange Cranberry Sauce, and Garlicky Green Beans with Fried Onions. The Homemade Brioche Rolls are the thing people talk about for weeks.

For dessert, Grandma’s All-Butter Pie Crust is the foundation everything else is built on, and the Butterscotch Apple Crisp with Maple Bourbon Whipped Cream is the combination that makes pie feel like an underachiever.
