While you’re planning your thanksgiving menu this year, give these recipes a whirl. I’ve served them for holiday meals in the past, and they always impress.

For me, Sundays are usually reserved for planning for the week’s recipes and doing some cooking prep, making a big pot of something that can be adapted for leftovers all week.
