32 Crowd-Pleasing Thanksgiving Recipes

What better way to give thanks than to serve up a spectacular Thanksgiving spread? If the Southern Living Test Kitchen hosted Thanksgiving, it would look like this: a crowd-pleasing spread of our family favorite recipes, like Aunt Grace's Famous Cornbread, a few daring new additions, including Pumpkin-Spice Magic Cake, and almost everything make-ahead. We'd invite family, friends, and friends who feel like family. And there would be pie—lots of pie. You can trust our trio of Old Faithfuls: Apple, Pumpkin, and Pecan.From cooking shortcuts to genius hosting ideas, our editors dedicated every recipe below to helping you prep for Turkey Day, so that you can actually enjoy it. Start with our homemade relish tray, and end with one of our four delicious variations on the Leftover Turkey Sandwich. This feast isn't just about the main event. We have many reasons to be grateful this year, and we're celebrating them all. Happy Thanksgiving!
