PREVIEW TEXT GOES HERE Dry-Brined Turkey This fantastic recipe was passed on to me by the talented food stylist Rebecca Jurkevich, who styled my second cookbook. It's so simple! You start by rubbing a mixture of salt and seasonings—the dry brine—onto the turkey's skin, then let it rest in the fridge overnight. The salt not only thoroughly seasons the meat but also dries out the exterior of the bird, so when you cook it, you end up with the most beautifully crispy, golden-brown skin. READ MORE Easy Sausage & Herb Stuffing A must-have on my Thanksgiving table every year, this stuffing relies on store-bought stuffing cubes—a huge time-saver. Believe me, once you mix in a pound of savory sausage and a whole stick of butter, no one will know it's not 100% made from scratch! READ MORE Creamy Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes Say goodbye to stressful last-minute mashing! These ultra-creamy mashed potatoes can be made up to two days ahead and reheated in the microwave. READ MORE Cranberry Sauce Let's retire the jiggly, can-shaped cranberry sauce with ridges, shall we? Homemade cranberry sauce is surprisingly simple to whip up, and if you make it today, it will keep in the fridge until Thanksgiving. READ MORE Turkey Gravy My go-to turkey gravy recipe is not only rich and flavorful but can also be prepped in advance. Simply stir in the turkey drippings when reheating, and it's ready to serve! READ MORE Sweet Potato Casserole This sweet potato casserole is always a big hit. Instead of the traditional marshmallow topping (yes, a classic, but let's be honest, a gourmet dish marshmallows do not make), I cover the sweet potatoes with a crunchy brown sugar-pecan streusel. It makes the dish! READ MORE French Green Beans with Shallots Swap out the usual green bean casserole for these simple French green beans — they bring a touch of elegance to your table without any fuss.
