This is the side-dish desk for Thanksgiving: casseroles, cranberry sauce, stuffing or dressing, gravy and the shopping plan that holds the menu together. It does not replace the per-person quantity chart or the turkey itself; those live in their own guides and on the main Thanksgiving guide. More side-dish how-tos will be added as they go live.
