Thanksgiving recipe collection

Extra-rich chocolate pecan pie: classic Southern pecan pie reimagined with melted semi-sweet chocolate and evaporated milk for a denser, fudgier filling. The Thanksgiving showpiece your table needs.

Golden pumpkin bread is a moist pumpkin quick bread with a twist: cornmeal for a golden, tender crumb, sour cream for richness, warm pumpkin pie spice, and studded with raisins and pecans. A cozy fall loaf.

From the Thanksgiving collection I been gathering over the years.

Herb-roasted Thanksgiving turkey with fresh sage, marjoram, and thyme tucked right under the skin and a lemon-lime glaze brushed on at the end for a glossy, citrus-bright finish. The holiday centerpiece, done simply.

Karen's pumpkin pie uses fresh roasted pumpkin, heavy cream, brown sugar, warm spices, and a splash of whiskey for the richest holiday pie. From-scratch Thanksgiving classic.

No fuss pecan pie: just six pantry ingredients stirred together and poured into a pie shell. Sticky, gooey, toasty-pecan classic with a perfect set every time. The holiday dessert that bakes itself.

Pecan tarts with caramel sauce: flaky homemade pastry shells filled with a brown-butter pecan filling, baked golden, then drizzled with silky amber caramel. Individual holiday tartlets worth the effort.

Pumpkin cheese soup is a Thanksgiving showstopper served right inside a baked pumpkin. A creamy, cheddar-rich pumpkin soup ladled from an edible tureen, scraping tender pumpkin into every bowl. As much centerpiece as supper.

Pumpkin chess pie crosses Southern chess pie with classic pumpkin filling. Cornmeal-thickened, warmly spiced, and richer than traditional pumpkin pie with a denser, sliceable texture.

Perfect in the fall when pumpkins start appearing in the markets. The cookies turn out cake-like and golden. The gentle mix of pumpkin and cinnamon works well with the chocolate chips.

Silky pumpkin mousse pie made with whipped egg whites, evaporated skim milk, and a hint of orange zest. A no-bake holiday dessert that's lighter than traditional pumpkin pie.

This one skillet side dish makes for quick and easy cleanup. The crunchy butter and maple toasted pecans dress up everyday green beans for a side worthy of a holiday feast.

Fudge-pecan pie with bittersweet chocolate melted into a buttery corn syrup filling and loaded with chopped pecans. A holiday-table classic that splits the difference between Southern pecan pie and dense chocolate fudge.
