Air-Fried Rosemary Turkey Breast: Thanksgiving is not complete without a turkey on the dinner table.

Mashed potatoes: Give your regular mashed potatoes an upgrade by adding more richness to it. Try browning the butter to add a nutty flavour to the dish. This hack also works for stuffing and sweet potatoes.(Unsplash)

Brown Butter Sweet Potato Stacks: This is the easiest of the lot. All you need to make this dish are unsalted butter, garlic, sweet potatoes, fresh thyme and Parmesan cheese. In a bowl, add chopped sweet potatoes, season with the rest of the ingredients, give it a good toss and put it in a 400°F preheated oven for 25 to 30.(Unsplash)
