Ep 8. Thanksgiving Simplified

In this episode of Guy's Ranch Kitchen, Guy Fieri invites his friends and family to join him for a Thanksgiving feast. However, this year, he's decided to simplify things by creating easy-to-follow recipes that still pack a flavorful punch.

First up on the menu is a herb-roasted turkey. Guy shares his tips on how to get a crispy skin and juicy meat, while also infusing the bird with a delicious blend of herbs and spices. He also shows how to make a homemade gravy using the turkey drippings.

Next, Guy puts a spin on the classic green bean casserole by adding bacon and a crunchy panko breadcrumb topping. He also teaches his guests how to make a creamy and decadent mac and cheese, complete with a crispy breadcrumb crust.

For a lighter side dish, Guy creates a fresh and vibrant Brussels sprouts slaw. He combines shaved Brussels sprouts with apples, dried cranberries, and pecans, and dresses it all in a light vinaigrette.

No Thanksgiving meal would be complete without stuffing, and Guy's version is a crowd-pleaser. He shares his recipe for a savory bread stuffing that features sausage, mushrooms, and herbs.

Last but not least, Guy whips up a stunning pumpkin pie with a gingerbread crust. He shows his viewers how to make a silky smooth pumpkin filling and a crunchy spiced crust, all from scratch.

Throughout the episode, Guy also shares tips for making the meal prep process go smoothly, like using make-ahead dishes and delegating tasks to guests. With his simplified Thanksgiving feast, Guy proves that hosting a delicious and stress-free holiday meal is within reach.
