Thanksgiving Dressing, Sides, and Turkey Techniques

Holiday coverage now includes make-ahead sourdough-and-sausage dressing, a Black family cornbread-dressing tradition adapted as soup, a cheesecloth turkey method, three shortcut sides, and bourbon-orange candied sweet potatoes. The new sides offer concrete roasting guidance and a roughly 25-minute covered simmer; verify the soup and turkey instructions before recommending them as complete guides.
