Still need some recipes?

Or you can just follow Sam Sifton's advice: forget innovation, be conservative. If you're pressed for time and want to keep it simple (silly), you can get on board with Mark Bittman's minimalist Thanksgiving (menu & recipes included).

Our advice? Just relax and have some pie.

Happy Thanksgiving.
