Raw Butternut Squash Salad With Cranberry Dressing

People aren’t accustomed to eating raw butternut squash, but when it’s grated, it has a wonderful, crunchy quality, and it’s also very pretty. Here, a jumble of grated squash is tossed with a dressing made out of fresh cranberries, honey, orange juice and fresh ginger. It's a lively, fresh twist on the traditional mashed and heavily-buttered treatment.

Spiced Pumpkin Creme Brulee With Ginger-Dusted Churros

This recipe came to The Times from Bruno Davaillon, the executive chef of the celebrated Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek restaurant in Dallas. When this combination of cold crème brulee and hot churros (deep-fried pastries dusted with cinnamon sugar) appeared on the Mansion menu, it “took off right away,’’ says Mr. Davaillon. Use a star-shaped piping tool to make the churros about three to four inches long and up to a ½ inch in diameter. They can be piped out a day early and fried at the last minute before serving.

Cranberry Cordial

Scarlet-hued, with just enough sugar to offset the tartness of the berries, this vodka-based spirit submitted by Corey Balazowich was a resounding success. It’s also a good place to use up cranberries left over from Thanksgiving.

New England Roast Turkey

This adaptation of an old Yankee Magazine recipe for classic New England roast turkey is solid and unfancy, the sort that has adorned tables from Portsmouth north for generations. Old-line New Englanders may be tempted to soak an old cotton button-down dress shirt in butter and drape it over the bird for the first two hours. But this is not necessary.

Gluten-Free Apple-Almond Tart

This tart is inspired by a recipe by Jacquy Pfeiffer, from his cookbook “The Art of French Pastry.” The apples are caramelized first with sugar and spices, then spread in the pastry, topped with an almond, egg white and sugar topping, and baked.

Italian Spinach Stuffing

This is an Italian-American turkey stuffing that was invented in New Jersey by Pietronilla Conte, who emigrated from the Italian region of Molise in the early 20th century. Ms. Conte's granddaughter Lisa shared the recipe (which her mother, Carmela, also prepares) with us. "She must have used a stuffing that she knew in Italy," Lisa Conte said of her grandmother. "And she just looked at the turkey as a larger thing to stuff." The gizzards give the stuffing its depth of flavor (like giblet gravy), but you could leave them out, or substitute an equal amount of livers, or 6 ounces of pancetta or bacon.

Garlic Broth With Basmati Rice, Turkey and Squash

This is the kind of soup you can whip up on a whim if you have garlic on hand and either summer or winter squash. You can make a vegetarian version of the soup just by eliminating the turkey. Otherwise it is one more healthy option for your Thanksgiving leftovers. When I made the soup the first time I used a lingering half-zucchini that I found in my sister’s refrigerator. At this time of year you might be more likely to have winter squash on hand. Either will work. Winter squash will take 10 to 15 minutes longer to cook.

Sweet-Potato-Custard Pie in Orange Crust

This recipe came to The Times in 1995 in a column about the novelist and farmer Dori Sanders, who cooked it for Thanksgiving on her farm in Flibert, S.C.. It is, some say, quite the best thing to do with a sweet potato. "People tell their life stories through food," Ms. Sanders said. "They talk about how they did it then, how they do it now. The way they talk tells you who they are."

Roasted Coconut Carrots

Carrots don’t have to be boring or lackluster. Roasting, which captures the carrots’ natural sweetness, is emphasized here with the aromatic sweetness of coconut oil. Cilantro, mint, jalapeño and lime ensure there nothing one-dimensional about this dish at all. Chop the herbs just before serving for the freshest flavor.
