Our Best November 2016 Recipes

By Southern Living

We packed our November 2016 issue with plenty of recipes to help you make this your most delicious Thanksgiving yet. We're giving you two different turkeys—a classic Roasted Herb Turkey with Gravy and Sweet-and-Spicy Roast Turkey. If you're looking for something a little different this year, try our Pecan-Crusted Rack of Lamb with Mint Dipping Sauce. We also stocked this issue with fantastic side dish recipes that are sure to please your holiday crowd. Mashed potatoes get an upgrade with the addition of goat cheese. We kicked up classic cornbread dressing with two riffs that we know you'll love. One uses kale and bacon and the other sausage and fennel. If you're expecting a crowd this year, serve both and let guests vote on their favorite. Off course, it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without pies, lots of pies! This year we took classic pies and gave them fun and interesting spins that will take your dessert game up a level. Brown Butter Sweet Potato Pie, German Chocolate-Pecan Pie, Tex-Mex Apple Pie, and Maple Peanut Pie are sure to become new favorites. As any host knows, Thanksgiving isn't over with the dessert. Therefore, we've got a meal plan for your day-after-Thanksgiving crowd. Black Friday shoppers will love coming home to the warm comfort of Turkey Tortellini Soup with Greens. And we love the ooey, gooey deliciousness of our Turkey Panini. Check out all of our recipes and you're sure to find a whole new list of classic dishes to enjoy all holiday season long.
