This cheesy gratin could easily be mistaken for another comfort favorite: macaroni and cheese. But beneath the crispy topping, it's perfectly cooked barley, not pasta, that's cloaked in a creamy and buttery cheese sauce. Browned onions, garlic and thyme give this decadent side dish deep, rich flavor. Serve it alongside roasted turkey, fried chicken or grilled steak.

Tender chunks of butternut squash cooked in a bright, aromatic adobo sauce create the filling for these mouthwatering tamales. Wrap in corn husks and steam to tender perfection for a plant-based take on a Mexican classic.

Boston Market is best known as a rotisserie chicken joint, but one of the chain’s most beloved dishes actually goes better with turkey: cranberry walnut relish. The side started as a seasonal special back in 1992, but so many customers requested the sauce year-round that it earned a permanent spot in stores two years later. (Although it’s not actually listed on the menu, you can always order it.) Company execs never give out a recipe, so chefs in Food Network Kitchens developed this spot-on copy, perfect for your Thanksgiving feast or weeknight dinner.
