Have you started planning your menu for Thanksgiving Day yet? Time to get on it! We’re here with our favorite recipes for turkey and sweet treats—and even something for you gluten-free folks out there. Make any of these, and your guests will be raving about your skills in the kitchen for years to come, guaranteed.
The Turkey
It’s all about the bird—and who better than Martha Stewart to dish out the perfect recipe? PA Eats’s Lauren Speakman set out to channel Martha in her first-ever attempt at cooking Thanksgiving Day dinner in her brand-new home. (No pressure, right?) Find her perfectly roasted turkey recipe here.
Celebrate a Gluten-Free Thanksgiving
Gluten-free for the holidays? It can be done! Philadelphia-based author Allyson Kramer, the “queen of gluten-free,” talked all things Thanksgiving with our own Amy Strauss. Her popular blog Manifest Vegan and cookbook Great Gluten-Free Vegan Eats are tremendous resources if you’re living a life sans gluten. Check out her interview with Amy and score a fabulous Smoky Butternut Mac and Cheese recipe here.
Pumpkin Desserts
And now, our favorite meal of the day: Dessert! You can’t go wrong on Thanksgiving with a pumpkin-flavored dessert, but how about going beyond the traditional pumpkin pie? PA Eats’s baker extraordinaire Amy Strauss offers up two out-of-the-box recipes for Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with Cream Cheese Filling and Pumpkin Pie Pockets here. Yum … we can smell them baking in our ovens already.
