Cook's Illustrated All-Time Best Thanksgiving Recipes Special Issue

Ace everyone’s favorite holiday meal of the year with the test kitchen experts by your side. Whether you have family recipes that have been passed down generation to generation, or are looking to make your own traditions, this special collector’s edition of Cook’s offers smart cooking strategies that are the cornerstone of a successful feast.

Get foolproof versions of all the classics, from Old-Fashioned Stuffed Turkey (discover the surprise ingredient that guarantees uncommonly rich flavor) and Fluffy Mashed Potatoes (rinse away sticky starches halfway through cooking) to the Ultimate Green Bean Casserole (we give this dish a makeover with fresh beans and a homemade mushroom sauce) and Pumpkin Pie (our recipe combines creaminess with punched-up flavor). If you want to try something new, why not go with Butterflied Turkey with Cranberry-Molasses Glaze or Classic Roast Turkey on the Grill? And the sides … here’s where you can add real character to the meal. Make Cornbread and Sausage Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes and Root Vegetables, Roasted Carrots with Sage and Walnuts, Roasted Butternut Squash Soup, or over a dozen other recipes.
