Thanksgiving Recipe Inspiration: Soup
Your Thanksgiving table has room for more liquids beyond gravy—serve soup! Squash, carrot, celery, fennel, mushrooms, potato, and more combine for creamy fall-themed soups. Many of these can be prepared ahead of time and reheated when T-day comes. Do you serve soup at your Thanksgiving dinner? If not, maybe you'll feel inspired after checking out these recipes.This Week in America's Test Kitchen: Pumpkin Pie
One of the reasons people go overboard on the main dishes at Thanksgiving? Oftentimes, the desserts aren't worth saving any room for. Take pumpkin pie, for example. Too often, this holiday classic appears at the end of a Thanksgiving meal as a grainy, overspiced, canned-pumpkin custard encased in a soggy crust. The cooks at America's Test Kitchen set out to create a pumpkin pie recipe destined to be a new classic: velvety smooth, packed with pumpkin flavor and just enough fragrant spices. To do this, they concentrated the moist canned pumpkin, prebaked the pie crust, and relied on an unusual ingredient to boost the flavor.

Here's the problem with turkey: above 145°F or so, white meat begins to dry out. Dark meat, with its connective tissue, on the other hand, has to be cooked to at least 165°F. How do you cook a single bird to two different temperatures? It's difficult at best, and downright impossible at worst, even more so when you consider the variation in shape and thickness of turkey meat, especially on the breast of a large bird.12 Days Until Thanksgiving
