Deep-frying a turkey is easier than you might think, plus it frees up oven space for the rest of your Thanksgiving feast.

This spin on the home cooking favorite is a nod to a classic Southern combination: iced tea and cornbread. Here, the tea makes a sweet and shiny glaze and the delicate sweetness of fresh corn kernels balances out the buttery bread. Muffins are perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts, but you could also make it in a cast-iron skillet and serve family style. Beware, your overnight guests may never leave.

To create this Girl Scout cookie–inspired dessert, the chocolate and peanut butter cookies known as Tagalongs or Peanut Butter Patties are paired with a rich peanut butter mousse. While our version looks a little different and certainly tastes different, we got the idea to make a cookie-studded cake from Lauren Chattman's Pop-Art Raspberry Icebox Cake.

To create this Girl Scout cookie–inspired dessert, grind Thin Mints and use them to make the cookie crust for a luscious mint chocolate cheesecake.

To create this Girl Scout cookie–inspired dessert, combine vanilla ice cream with the coconut, caramel, and chocolate cookies known as Samoas or Caramel deLites. The final touch is a drizzle of chocolate and caramel sauces.
