Turkey and Sage Sausage
This just in: Turkey is great all year, not just on Thanksgiving! Here Michael combines ground turkey thighs with tons of herbs to infuse the meat with flavor, then he turns it into sausage. If you don’t have a grill, Michael says, "You can also pan-fry or broil the sausages."

Grilled Rack of Pork With Cabbage
It’s a good idea to serve pork with something bright and tangy like pickled veggies so there’s a balance to the richness of the meat.

Lamb Chops with Eggplant Caponata
When cooking lamb chops, it’s important to put them in the pan and then don’t touch them for a few minutes — even though it’s tempting to flip them! Leave them be so they develop a golden, crispy crust on the outside.
