Here is how to take the temperature of your turkey and make sure that it has arrived at the safe internal temperature for eating.
Perfect for Thanksgiving: 10 Fall Sangrias — Drinks from The Kitchn
Sangria is one of my favorite things. It combines fruit, which is good, and wine, which I love, into something absolutely divine. And you don’t even have to buy expensive wine. There are those who advocate using good wine for sangria, but I’m a firm believer in finding a great budget buy at the grocery store. Seeing that three-dollar wine transformed into something delicious and drinkable is nothing short of magical.
Here are a few sangrias that are perfect for autumn, from Thanksgiving to Christmas, and everything in between.

Recipe: Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs — Thanksgiving Recipes from The Kitchn
I’m on the record as saying Thanksgiving leftover recipes are a bit silly. Most Thanksgiving leftovers are perfectly good reheated. I don’t need too many ways to eat leftover stuffing, for instance; straight out of the dish is generally quite good enough (although pan-frying as a reheating method is pretty sublime).
But there are a few opportunities to not just use up leftovers, but to make something wholly new and delicious out of them. Mashed potatoes often aren’t as good reheated as they were fresh, and as I had a mound of them left over, here’s what I made: Crispy, creamy, cheesy mashed potato puffs.

cranberry pie with thick pecan crumble
Cranberries are, for me, one of the best things about late fall and they show up right in time, just as all of the other colors disappear. The ginkgo trees, always one of the last November holdouts, simultaneously ejected their green/yellow leaves last week and ever since, pretty much everything outside is looking rather… greige, but not like the charming shade of the boots I want. And then, out of nowhere, perfect red berries appear and things look up.
I love cranberries the way I do sour cherries in June, except cranberries are easier to come by (here, at least), keep longer, cost less, have less of a blink-and-you-missed-them season and freeze seemingly indefinitely perfectly. I think it would be chromatically impossible to find a more stunning shade of red than the one they collapse into when cooked.
