Dinner
Pasta With Sausage and Arugula
Arugula adds a fresh, peppery bite to this simple sausage and roasted vegetable pasta.
Citrus Shrimp Rice Bowls
A bright and spicy sauce works as both marinade for the shrimp and dressing for the citrus salad in these colorful rice bowls.
Burnished Potato Nuggets
Any cooking oil or rendered fat will work for making these supremely crunchy potatoes. Bonus: The fluffy insides are perfect for sopping up gravy.
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.
Broccoli Caesar
Broccoli stems are tender and delicious, but it’s important to cut away the dried-out base and peel the tough skin of thicker ones.
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.
Chicken Soup with Charred Cabbage
Simmer the bones of a rotisserie bird in water with a handful of aromatics and flavor-packed mushroom stems to make the umami-rich broth for this comforting soup.

This velvety lentil stew, brightened with shredded apple and fresh ginger, is the antidote to holiday excess.
Buttermilk Cornbread
This simple cornbread was designed for making stuffing—it’s easy to cut, not too sweet, and holds together.
Radicchio Salad with Sour Cream Ranch
Pale yellowish-white Castelfranco radicchio is usually tender and mild, but Chioggia (round) or Treviso (spear-shaped) varieties also work.
Sunday Stash Braised Beef
Make a big batch of this simple braise and stash it in the fridge or freezer to turn into stews, tacos, hashes, sandwiches, soups, and more in the weeks to come.
