Following these short paragraphs are almost five dozen inexpensive, nutritious recipes suitable for Turkey Day. They come from CHG or my Healthy & Delicious column at Serious Eats, meaning Leigh, Jaime, or I have tried, photographed, and approved every single dish. As you may surmise, we are huge potato fans.
Is there anything we missed? Feel free to add your own favorites in the comment section. Together, we will build the greatest Thanksgiving the world has ever known. Seriously.
