A delicious homemade sauce, crisp-tender green beans and heaps of crispy fried onions that you can make all in one skillet changed my feelings about this once-maligned Thanksgiving staple forever.

Potatoes and leeks slow-baked in cream with a burnish of cheese and fine buttery crunch on top are the perfect welcome to gratin season, which is not a thing, I just made that up, but really should be for colder weather and short days ahead.

A buttery pecan gingersnap base, lightly sweetened pumpkin cheesecake center, and a swoosh of bourbon-spiked sour cream on top, I'm not even welcome at Thanksgiving without this and I'd take it personally if I didn't know how good this actually is.

Classic, buttery, tender and stretchy Parker House rolls with a pretzel wash that makes them dark, shiny and unmistakably special on top. Trust me, the only thing better than making these for the big meal is having a guest who brings them still warm.

This apple-cranberry crisp is fragrant with citrus and cinnamon and is topped with an improved polenta streusel that tastes like buttery crumbled cornbread. I refreshed this recipe this week and it's now less sweet and perfect for the fall-winter holiday.

This is Smitten Kitchen's only turkey recipe, because you'll never need another: burnished, perfectly cooked and crisp-skinned on a bed of onions that have been cooked in salty, buttery drippings. Oh, and there are five ingredients. And gravy. You've got this!

This roasted cabbage is a site favorite because much more than it seems: A warm salad for cold weather. Starter Cabbage for people who are cabbage hesitant. Better from the tray than a serving dish, thus rewarding laziness, you're welcome.

A luxe longtime favorite, this is a sleeper recipe for a gloriously rich, deeply maple-y pie, creamy baked pie. I've toned down the nutmeg over the years so it doesn't blot out the other flavors, but mostly left everything as perfect as it's always been.

I started making my Thanksgiving sweet potatoes like this a few years ago and haven't looked back. When slow-roasted, sweet potatoes get sweeter, louder, and more nuanced than seems possible. The salty, lightly blackened skin provides a heavenly, crispy contrast.

Apples, butterscotch, and gingerbread star in my favorite upside-down cake of all time. A big dollop of softly whipped cream on top is a requirement. I recently refreshed it; it's now more spiced, uses fewer bowls, and is scaled down to fit in a 9-inch pan.

There’s good roast chicken, and then there’s Judy Roger’s legendary approach — dry brine (a fancy term for salting and leaving it), crazy crisp skin and a salad that’s akin to deconstructed stuffing. This is one of my favorite luxurious but low-key fall dinners.

These are fixation-worthy apple dumplings. When you cut into each packet, flakes of buttery crust scatter and a trickle of spiced brown sugar floods your plate, mingling with the whiskey-infused glaze that had melted over the sides.
