Gluten Free
Spicy Cranberry Sauce
Removing the seeds from one of the chiles lessens the punch. If you like more heat, leave them in. If less, scrape out seeds from both chiles.
Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes
You can make and chill these mashed potatoes up to two days before the big night.
Glazed Shallots with Chile and Thyme

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.

Coconut-Apple-Ginger Dal
This velvety lentil stew, brightened with shredded apple and fresh ginger, is the antidote to holiday excess.
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.
