Impress Your Friends With Ina Garten's Very Best Thanksgiving Recipes

When it comes to tasty, trustworthy recipes sure to please, Ina Garten (aka the Barefoot Contessa) is a reliable source. So while the pros in the GH Test Kitchen dream up their own triple-tested recipes for every holiday (including Thanksgiving dinner!), we're thrilled to share Ina Garten's Thanksgiving recipes for extra inspiration to make this year's feast one to remember.

Garten has assembled a no-stress but superb meal for GH, from her savory marcona almonds to her famous apple crostata — an easy alternative to pie. She has you covered for the whole day with Thanksgiving turkey, side dishes (including roasted veggies, mashed potatoes and festive salads) and classic Turkey Day desserts. And while you might not think you can cook like this celebrity chef, Ina has shared her top tips for Thanksgiving with us in the past. According to her, it's all about keeping things simple and easy. Two rules of thumb? "Never, ever test a new recipe on guests for any reason. This is particularly true on Thanksgiving, when there's so much to do," and "Skip complicated appetizers; just serve nuts, good olives, or figs and prosciutto with wine or Champagne," she said.

So whether you're throwing a Friendsgiving, entertaining just a few family members or hosting a large crowd, you can't go wrong with any of these top-notch Thanksgiving recipes from Ina Garten herself.
