On Thursday 26 November 2015, families in the USA will be gathering to give thanks for harvest’s offerings. Whether you’re celebrating Thanksgiving with a full-on turkey feast or simply fancy a small taste of this Stateside tradition, we have all your recipes covered.
For the full works, serve Traditional roast turkey and stuffing with Proper turkey gravy, cranberry and clementine sauce and Roast potatoes. For true American flare, add Sweet potato mash (a food native to the New World) alongside, plus rich Creamed spinach.
End the meal with one of our super-sweet, traditional American treats: Pumpkin pie, Pumpkin seed brittle or Classic cherry pie.
If you’d rather keep things simple with slightly less turkey, try our Stuffed turkey breasts with sweet potato chips or these tasty Turkey burgers with crisp onion rings.
For a twist on tradition, tuck into some warming Spiced Pumpkin Soup with Low-fat cornbread.
Whatever your plans, we wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving.

An experienced and highly skilled team of food writers, stylists and digital content producers, the Good Housekeeping Cookery Team is a close-knit squad of food obsessives. Cookery Editor Emma Franklin is our resident chilli obsessive and barbecue expert, who spends an inordinate amount of time on holidays poking round the local supermarkets seeking out new and exciting foods. Senior Cookery Writer Alice Shields is a former pastry chef and baking fanatic who loves making bread and would have peanut butter with everything if she could. Her favourite carb is pasta, and our vibrant green spaghetti is her weeknight go-to. Lover of all things savoury, Senior Cookery Writer Grace Evans can be found eating crispy corn and nocellara olives at every opportunity, and will take the cheeseboard over dessert any time (though she cannot resist a slice of tres leches cake). With a wealth of professional kitchen know-how, culinary training and years of experience between them, they are all dedicated to ensuring every Good Housekeeping recipe is the best it can be, so you can trust they’ll work (and if they don’t – we’ll have the answer for why*) every time (*90% of the time the answer is: “buy an separate oven thermometer”!).
