Thanksgiving
Apple Tart with Caramel Sauce
Here's a grown-up spin on the caramel apple — in tart form.
Cranberry-Kumquat Sauce
Fresh kumquats and golden raisins make the familiar cranberry sauce new.
Buttery Cornbread
The bread is terrific on its own, too.
Cornbread Stuffing with Fresh and Dried Fruit
The cornbread needs to dry overnight, so start this at least one day ahead.
Roast Turkey with Port Gravy
Easy and elegant: a beautifully simple bird and a rich wine gravy.
Bread Stuffing with Crawfish, Bacon, and Collard Greens
If crawfish are hard to find, shrimp make a good stand-in.
Rustic Bread Stuffing with Bell Pepper and Fresh Thyme
Here's a classic stuffing to suit all tastes. For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable or mushroom broth.
Savory Bread Pudding with Mushrooms and Parmesan Cheese
This rich, custard-like stuffing is also a great main-course option for vegetarians at the Thanksgiving table; it would be nice with a salad for brunch or lunch, too.
Cranberry-Cheese Danish
Perfect for the morning after Thanksgiving.
Stuffing Hash with Fried Eggs and Arugula
Super-simple and super-satisfying — for breakfast, brunch, or supper.
Grilled Turkey, Bacon, Radicchio, and Blue Cheese Sandwiches
This is the ultimate turkey sandwich.
Cranberry Granita with Orange Whipped Cream
Cloves add a little extra holiday flavor.
Roasted Vegetables with Pecan Gremolata
Traditionally, gremolata is made with parsley, lemon peel, and garlic. Here, Parmesan adds richness and pecans add crunch.
Savoy Cabbage and Radicchio Slaw with Blood Orange Dressing
Blood orange juice gives the dressing great flavor and color. If you can't find it, use 1/2 cup pomegranate juice mixed with 1/4 cup regular orange juice.
Spiced Sweet Potato Gratin
Who says a gratin has to arrive on the table in a baking dish? In this version, the potatoes, spices, and cheese are layered and baked in a springform pan, giving the dish a cake-like look.
