While it’s not a Jewish holiday, Thanksgiving is a favorite amongst our team. For many American Jewish cooks, Thanksgiving recipes and traditions are an integral part of their family’s culinary canon. For our program director Amanda Dell, there’s no Thanksgiving dinner without her grandmother’s recipe for a whole turkey roasted in a brown paper bag (it comes out wonderfully moist with a crispy skin). There was even a year when her parents pushed their roasted turkey down the streets of New York City in a shopping cart so they could have it at a relative’s home.
This year, we’re sharing recipes from food writer Tannaz Sassooni whose family moved from Iran to Los Angeles when she was a little. As they settled into their new home, their Thanksgiving menu became a blend of Persian flavors and American traditions with dishes like turkey roasted with saffron and quince, and a rice dish called tahchin studded with dried cranberries and slivered almonds.
In some families, Jewish recipes are always part of the celebration. Becca Gallick-Mitchell explains that every year, she’s tempted to carve the Thanksgiving turkey poorly, leaving more meat on the bones. She uses what’s leftover to continue a kreplach tradition that’s five generations strong. And David Glick’s grandmother would serve yapsuk — a potato kugel on steroids, as he says — with gravy at Thanksgiving dinner.
In this collection, we have also included recipes like ones for spinach and challah stuffing, sweet potatoes with sage, a deep dish apple strudel, and many more that would be welcome additions to a Thanksgiving table.
