Wild Rice Dressing
This savory wild rice dish is the ultimate gluten-free stuffing—basically a holiday-appropriate grain salad with lots of fresh herbs.
Dry-Rubbed Roast Turkey
Cooking the turkey on a rimmed baking sheet is great for all-over browning, but be very careful as you remove it from the oven so that the drippings don’t slosh over the sides.
Dry-Rubbed Turkey Breast
The breast goes into the oven at a relatively high temperature to take on some color, then finishes low and slow for extreme juiciness.
Buttermilk Cornbread
This simple cornbread was designed for making stuffing—it’s easy to cut, not too sweet, and holds together.
Baked French Toast with Pecan Crumble
A sweet, nutty crumble offers the perfect balance to this uniquely prepared French Toast recipe–optimal for serving at a holiday brunch or as dessert to the main meal. (Or a mid-day snack. We won’t tell.)
