While roast turkey is the star of the Thanksgiving feast, the side dishes play a strong supporting role. Some fans even claim it's the best part of the meal. To round out your holiday menu, we offer recipes that feature favorite ingredients of the season.

It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without a savory dressing, such as our version that combines sausage, corn bread and chestnuts. Mashed potatoes are a must for soaking up that delicious gravy, and our recipe enriches the potatoes with brown butter. Pearl onions baked in a creamy sauce with a crunchy bread-crumb topping are rich and satisfying. These stellar dishes are so impressive, they just may steal the show.
