If making rolls is a page-turner for you, you possibly can make a batch of this no-fuss focaccia. The fantastic thing about this recipe is that it’s finest made the day earlier than and tucked within the fridge — on Thanksgiving morning, you’d simply let it rise at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours. You possibly can bake it when the turkey is out of the oven.

This kale and caramelized onion stuffing is a variation of the one in my cookbook, Bread Toast Crumbs. After 45 minutes within the oven, it emerges with a crisp golden exterior and a creamy middle, flavorful sufficient to eat by itself, however welcoming to many a relish, sauce, gravy, or the rest the Thanksgiving plate has to supply.

The entire sauces beneath may be made prematurely. Carry cranberry sauces and mustard sauce to room temperature a number of hours earlier than serving, and convey the gravy to a mild simmer earlier than serving.
Cranberry Sauces

Foolproof, Meals Processor Pie Dough
Among the best methods you may get a soar begin in your Thanksgiving preparations is to make your pie dough prematurely. The recipe within the video above and within the recipe right here, which incorporates directions on the right way to parbake your pie dough yields two rounds.

I take advantage of this recipe for all of my pies, tarts, galettes, and so on.
Each Thanksgiving I make Ronnie Hollingsworth’s Most Wonderful Squash Pie, which comes from Kristin Kimball’s, The Soiled Life, during which she writes: “Pumpkin shmumpkin, winter squash has extra taste and higher texture.”
