Raise a glass to Thanksgiving. Think autumn cocktails (spiced cranberry punch, bourbon-maple sour, mulled cider, spiced pear fizz).
Roasting your own bird? Skip ahead — this is everything else. But if you'd rather not wrestle a 20-pound turkey, a Boston Market-style rotisserie chicken or a pan of chicken and dumplings feeds the table with a fraction of the stress.
The side nobody skips. Whipped-smooth KFC-style with brown gravy, buttery Bob Evans-style, spiced Popeyes Cajun, or crispy smashed for the crowd that fights over the crunchy edges. Make the mash the morning of and hold it warm in a slow cooker.
The make-ahead heart of the spread. Cracker Barrel-style hashbrown casserole and five different restaurant macs — assemble the day before, bake straight from the fridge while the turkey rests, and let the oven do the work.
The color on the plate. Garlicky Texas Roadhouse-style green beans, a loaded sweet potato, caramelized balsamic Brussels sprouts and a velvety autumn squash soup to open the meal. All of these come together on the stovetop when the oven is full.
Warm rolls and biscuits are half the reason anyone loves the sit-down chains. Texas Roadhouse rolls with cinnamon honey butter, Golden Corral yeast rolls, Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuits and the Cheesecake Factory brown bread — bake or reheat right before you carve.
Something to graze on while the turkey rests and the relatives arrive. A bubbling Applebee's-style spinach artichoke dip and Chili's white spinach queso keep everyone out of the kitchen — set them out warm with crackers, chips and toasted bread.
The finish everyone saves room for (and nobody actually does). McDonald's hot apple pie, Cracker Barrel fried apples over ice cream, pumpkin bread, gooey caramel-pecan Cinnabon and a slice of Cheesecake Factory-style cheesecake — bake the pies and breads days ahead and just plate on the day.
Batch a pitcher of the good stuff and let the coffee crowd help themselves. Pumpkin spice and chai lattes, a cookie-butter latte that tastes like the holidays, hot chocolate bombs for the kids and a butter pecan iced coffee for the ones who run warm.
