Roasted Carrots and Scallions With Thyme and Hazelnuts
I bought incredibly sweet, baby red onions — they look like thick red scallions — and multicolored bunches of carrots from a farmer at my market and roasted them with fresh thyme. Then I sprinkled on some crushed toasted hazelnuts, which contributed a nice crunchy texture and nutty finish to the dish. If you have a bottle of hazelnut oil or walnut oil on hand, a small drizzle just before serving is a welcome touch.

Gluten-Free Apple-Pecan Cornbread Stuffing
Silvana Nardone, the founding editor of the food magazine Every Day With Rachel Ray, developed this recipe for her gluten-intolerant son, Isaiah. Instead of toasting the cornbread, you can spread out the pieces on a baking sheet and let them sit on your counter top overnight, uncovered, to dry out.

Spaghetti Friuliano

Commander's Palace Duck, Wild Mushroom And Andouille Filé Gumbo
This dish was part of a Thanksgiving meal improvised in New Orleans. The recipe includes classic southern Louisiana flavors, like andouille sausage. The filé is important, as it acts as a thickening agent. It is often used as an alternative to okra in gumbos.

Mirliton, Andouille and Shrimp Dressing
This is a typical Thanksgiving dish in southern Louisiana.

Turkey Smoked Indoors

Brined Turkey
This recipe, from the barbecue expert Steven Raichlen, was originally published alongside a pair of recipes for smoking the Thanksgiving turkey: one that has you smoking it outdoors on a charcoal grill, the other indoors using a stovetop smoker and a conventional oven. But there's no reason you couldn't brine the turkey according to the method below and then roast it to bronzed perfection.

Rye Tarte Tatin
Rye flour adds an earthy flavor and soft, cakey texture to this otherwise classic tarte Tatin, which is topped with glossy, nearly candied apples cloaked in caramel. A tangy yogurt sorbet offsets the sweetness, but crème fraîche, a dollop of sour cream or a spoonful of plain Greek yogurt would also work nicely as an accompaniment. This recipe is adapted from the chef Moko Hirayama, who serves it at Mokonuts, the Paris restaurant and cafe she owns with her husband, the chef Omar Koreitem.

Winter Squash With Anchovies, Capers, Olives and Ricotta Salata
Adapted from a recipe in Clifford A. Wright’s book “Mediterranean Vegetables,” this is another Italian recipe for winter squash (or pumpkin, to Italians), this time from the southern region of Apulia. It’s a delicious contrast of sweet and savory. Serve it as a side dish, toss it with pasta or use it as a topping for squash blini. The seasoning is provided by the anchovies, capers and cheese, a salty contrast to the sweet squash (the recipe is not for you if you cannot eat salt).

Lingonberry Relish

Persimmon and Orange Salad
Squat, roundish Fuyu persimmons are the ones to use raw in salads. (The pointy Hachiya variety is better ripened to softness for desserts.) Paired with sweet oranges and watercress, they make a refreshing autumn salad. They barely need dressing at all, but a little sherry vinegar adds brightness.
