Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Garlic Oil and Fried Sage

This is a great recipe for Thanksgiving if you're still looking for a solid sweet potatoes recipe. It's simple, and the roasted sweet potatoes are delicious with a slightly crusty exterior and the soft centers. Again, the recipe hails from Epicurious. Check out the recipe here.

Turkey Chili

This dish really hits the spot on a cold, autumn night. Best of all, it doesn't require hours and hours of simmering which a lot of chili recipes call for. I also like that the recipe uses chunks of turkey instead of the more unhealthy (and more common for chili) ground beef. This recipe also hails from Epicurious; for the cooked turkey, we pan fried some turkey cutlets seasoned with salt and pepper before cutting those up into chunks for the chili. Here's the recipe.

Spinach Salad with Bosc Pears, Cranberries, Red Onion, and Toasted Hazelnuts

You can't go wrong with recipes from Epicurious, I say. We've tried a couple already from this illustrative site at this Dinner Meet and previous ones, and the dishes have been fantastic. I was particularly enamored of this salad because the various ingredients truly contributed to the overall tastiness. A true test of a successful salad is when people go back for seconds... and thirds... That happened for this salad. :) I won't bother reposting the recipe here when we followed the recipe to a T.
