Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. For me, it’s a time to gather with family, rest, and forget about all of life’s troubles for at least a day, if not through the long weekend. It’s also, of course, the perfect time to pull out all the stops in the kitchen—and to no one’s surprise, we at Serious Eats take the menu very seriously. Appetizers? There will be at least three. Side dishes? Lots to choose from! Desserts? The limit does not exist.
Whether you haven’t started on your menu and need some serious inspiration or you’re looking to slot in a few extra dishes to round out the meal, we wanted to share a few recipes we’re excited to make for our own Thanksgiving spreads. There will be mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts, of course, along with deviled eggs with a Caesar salad twist and a very autumnal tiramisu—just to name a few! Take a look through our picks, and then head on over to our Thanksgiving page for all of your other Turkey Day needs.
