America's Test Kitchen Thanksgiving Playbook Special Digital Issue

Choosing 25 recipes from the hundreds of Thanksgiving recipes we’ve developed over the years was a difficult task, so we concentrated on the classic recipes that home cooks say are their “go-to” favorites—the recipes that their families and friends look forward to seeing on the holiday table year after year.

Of course, different home cooks gravitate to different recipes, so among the five turkey recipes we’ve included Old-Fashioned Stuffed Turkey and Easy Roast Turkey Breast with Lemon and Thyme. Butter Fan Rolls and Savory Corn Muffins have the bread basket covered. Kale Salad with Sweet Potatoes and Herbed Baked Goat Cheese Salad offer twists on tradition, and Extra-Crispy Skillet Stuffing and Make-Ahead Basic Bread Stuffing offer two options for a must-have side. Speaking of sides, whip up Fluffy Mashed Potatoes, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, and/or Sweet Potato Casserole. Add Simple Cranberry Sauce, Ultimate Green Bean Casserole, and Roasted Root Vegetables, or Roasted Brussels Sprouts to complete the main meal. Make sure everyone saves room for dessert—Deep Dish Apple Pie, Pumpkin Pie, and Cranberry Upside-Down Cake will be waiting.
