When it comes to Thanksgiving dinner, tradition and family, of course, are as important as turkey and stuffing. Oh, and it doesn’t hurt if everything is really, really yummy. To ensure that your holiday meal meets all of these criteria, we asked a collection of top New York chefs to share some of the recipes their own mothers cooked at their childhood turkey-day dinner tables— or their own updates thereof. The results, on the following slides, provide a tasty, and homey, soup-to-nuts feast.
