A New England Thanksgiving Menu

There’s molasses in the turkey brine and cider in the glaze, brown bread and chouriço sausage in the dressing, maple and walnuts in the Brussels sprouts, crispy cheddar in the mashed potatoes, and Marshmallow Fluff in the pumpkin pie. The result is both classic and modern, familiar and fresh. Happy Thanksgiving!
