Roast Turkey With Hazelnut Gremolata

Toasted hazelnuts, vibrant parsley, a hint of orange and diced prosciutto get tucked under the skin of a turkey to make a super moist bird for your holiday table. It's not pretty work, but it's worth it to gently loosen the skin from the tops of the legs, too. This allows the flavour of the gremolata to permeate both the white and dark meat so no one misses out.

Meat-and-Potato Lovers' Shepherd's Pie

You can't go wrong with this updated version of a classic. Ground beef balances the highly flavoured lamb.

Roasted Loin of Alberta Pork with Sage and Dried Berry Stuffing

Braised Pork Shoulder and White Beans

The humble pork shoulder roast becomes meltingly tender when braised. A bone-in pork picnic roast or boneless pork butt roast can be used interchangeably in this recipe, depending on what is available (but if using a shoulder picnic roast, leave its fat cap on for extra flavour). The Garlic Vinegar Sauce adds a hit of acidity to cut through the richness of the meal. Pass it around so that each person can add it according to taste.

Herb-Rubbed Roast Turkey with Fresh Sage Gravy

Dressed in a classic array of herbs that you'll find in your pantry, this turkey is one that your family can enjoy for years to come. To add even more herb flavour, we've added fresh sage to the gravy, but feel free to omit it, if desired.

Seafood Pie

Saffron adds a subtle accent to this deep-dish pie with its luxurious mix of seafood. Expect raves! You can replace the lobster with 12 oz (375 g) bay scallops; just simmer in cooking liquid until opaque, about 3 minutes.

Salmon Strudels

"What can we make ahead when we entertain?" is one of the most frequent questions we get. Here's the answer that satisfies every time: an elegant phyllo-wrapped salmon fillet gussied up with wild rice, mushrooms and spinach.

Veal Cannelloni

Instead of notoriously hard-to-fill cannelloni tubes, we've filled and rolled fresh lasagna sheets to make preparation easy.

Mixed Rice Stuffing With Caramelized and Crispy Shallots

Rice replaces bread in this hearty gluten-free stuffing. Slowly caramelized shallots add layers of flavour, while a sprinkling of crispy fried shallots delivers a satisfying crunch. The rice mixture is best made the day of, but if you'd like to do some prep work ahead of time, chop the veggies and caramelize the shallots the day before.

Sausage-Stuffed Pork Tenderloin With Creamy Mustard Sauce

Italian sausage and bread make a flavourful, moist stuffing. After rolling the pork, your hands will be dirty, so have the twine precut and ready to go.
