Roasted Turkey Breast with Dried Fruits Pan Sauce

If you don’t want to make a whole bird, GZ’s five-star turkey breast recipe is a go-to pick. The herby, earthy sauce on top features dried apricots and cherries.

Apple Brown Butter Blondies

Before making the batter, Dan Langan microwaves the diced apples to partially cook them. He says that doing this prevents shrinking while the apples bake in the blondies.

Roasted Pear Sangria

Add some decorative flair to GZ’s cinnamon-scented cocktail by making homemade Cranberry Ice Cubes.

Baked Brie Bread Bowl

Jeff garnishes this ooey-gooey bread bowl with sweet and tangy pomegranate seeds, which balance the richness of the buttery brie.

Pull-Apart Parker House Rolls

Jeff uses a flour paste made of heated-up bread flour and water to ensure the dough stays moist while baking for extra soft and fluffy rolls.

Thanksgiving Pot Pie

Turn your Thanksgiving leftovers into a hearty pie. Katie uses puff pastry to create a buttery, flaky crust.

Crispy-Skinned Herb-Roasted Turkey

In order for the skin to turn crackly and crispy, it needs to be dry, which is why Jeff Mauro does two things to ensure it's rid of excess moisture: First he coats the bird in an herb-laced salt mix for several days, then he leaves it uncovered in the refrigerator the night before cooking.

Cheesy Twice-Baked Potatoes

Katie Lee combines classic baked potato fixings like sour cream, chives and cheddar to create a comforting filling for hollowed-out spuds.

Easy Roasted Thanksgiving Turkey

Jeff calls this recipe "A Piece of Turkey," and that's the clue to what makes it such a successful recipe. He roasts the bird in pieces — legs, thighs, wings and a double breast — which helps the meat cook more evenly than a fully intact turkey would.

Apple-Orange-Cranberry Relish

Indeed a relish and not a loose sauce, Katie's 5-star recipe boasts welcome texture after the cranberries, apples and orange zest get whirled in a food processor with walnuts.

Sunny's Autumn Fried Turkey

Not just for your morning latte, pumpkin pie spice offers a warm, seasonal flavor to the spice rub for Sunny Anderson's turkey. Sunny balances that fragrant note with the addition of bold hot Hungarian paprika and smoky cumin.

The Creamiest, Butteriest, Tastiest Mashed Potatoes Ever

With a top rating from fans, there's no doubt that Jeff's holiday-worthy mashed potatoes have earned their "creamiest, butteriest, tastiest" name. He first whips the cooked spuds with a rich, tangy cream cheese-butter combo, then bakes them with even more butter on top.

Truffled Mushroom and Cheesy Macaroni Casserole

Traditional baked mac and cheese is great and all, but for a special occasion like Thanksgiving, go for Geoffrey Zakarian's next-level recipe, which is studded with mushrooms and laced with truffle oil for the ultimate indulgence.

Sweet Potato Pecan Salad

Sweet, savory, crunchy, chewy — all of the heavy-hitting flavors and textures are represented in GZ's big-batch salad. He roasts the sweet potatoes with red onions and herbs before tossing them with fresh grapes and bright scallions, plus golden raisins and pecans for well-rounded results.

Chestnut Stuffing

Baguette Stuffed with Brie and Cherries

When you want to take the edge off your guests' appetite but not fill them up ahead of dinnertime, opt for this simple fruit-and-cheese appetizer. Simply line a sliced baguette with creamy cheese and pile on top a savory-sweet cherry-Port sauce.

Butternut Squash Chipotle Bisque

You know how you can roast pumpkin seeds for snacking later on? Marcela does something similar with the seeds from the butternut squash used here; she slowly toasts them in a pan on the stove, then seasons them and uses them as a crunchy topping for her smoky bisque.

Appletini

Bring the flavors of the season to your pre-dinner cocktail too. This simple sipper features both apple cider and applejack brandy, and is finished with fresh apple slices.

Pumpkin Roll Cake

Follow Katie's lead and use a sugar-dusted kitchen towel to help you gently roll the spiced pumpkin cake around a smooth, buttery cream cheese filling.

Apple Crisp

While most apple pies require you to gingerly roll out the crust, that's not the case with a crisp. Simply blanket the fruit filling with a crumbly brown sugar-oat mixture and move it into the oven to bake.

Pumpkin Dump Cake

It's all about layering when dumping ingredients like pumpkin puree, boxed cake mix and pecans into the slow cooker for this fuss-free dessert. After a few hours, you'll have a moist, flavorful cake ready to serve — just add fluffy whipped cream.

Sunny's Nunya Business Cranberry Fluff Pie

There's no shame in the shortcut game when it comes to making this five-ingredient dessert. Sunny takes advantage of store-bought canned cranberry sauce, whipped topping and a ready-to-go graham cracker crust to save time in the kitchen.

Pumpkin Gelato

Your ice cream maker is not just for the stifling summer months. It can turn out holiday-focused treats as well, like this creamy concoction made with pumpkin puree and fragrant cinnamon and nutmeg.

Cheesecake Pumpkin Pie

Not only are we bringing the flavors of pumpkin pie to a cheesecake, but we're bringing an actual pumpkin pie, too. Here's how it works: Start with a base layer of graham cracker crust, as you would for a traditional cheesecake, then add a sweetened cream cheese mixture for the cheesecake filling. Then put in a whole pumpkin pie and finish with more cheesecake filling. Rich? Yes. Decadent? Absolutely, in the best possible way.
