Essential Thanksgiving Recipes for an Unforgettable Meal

I’ve pulled together my go-to Thanksgiving recipes for the holiday, so you can build a menu that feels cozy, intentional, and full of flavor. From juicy turkey and the stuffing I make every single year to the sides that always disappear first like homestyle green bean casserole (it’s better homemade!) and a can’t-skip sausage stuffing with kale and fennel, these dishes are meant to be shared and savored. Whether you’re looking for a turkey recipe for an intimate dinner like this apple cider brined turkey breast for 2 or an “easy to handle” turkey like this garlic butter spatchcock turkey, I’ve got you covered!

I hope these recipes help make your holiday just a little easier, a little more delicious, and full of the people you love around the table.
