Everything Thanksgiving: Get all our Thanksgiving recipes, how-to’s and more!

We’re no stranger to people’s feelings about sweet potato casserole. It’s a love-it or hate-it Thanksgiving dish ― and that’s not even touching upon the sensitive topic of marshmallows on this already polarizing side. But the folks who love sweet potato casserole, those who consider it one of the highlights of this food-filled holiday, well they really, really love it. And it’s for them that we made this collection of recipes below.

We found sweet potato recipes spiked with bourbon, recipes topped with a cornflake streusel and some that even play it straight with nothing more than a topping of pecans. Whichever casserole you choose this Thanksgiving, as a sweet potato fan you won’t be disappointed.

Turkey-Carving Tools For Thanksgiving

A carving set(01 of04)

This two-piece Messertmeister set includes an 8-inch carving knife and a 7-inch fork to give you the control you need to make long, smooth slices. (credit:Amazon)

A budget-friendly slicing knife(02 of04)

This Mercer knife features an 11-inch blade and can be used for any type of meat that you want to slice all year long. (credit:Amazon)

A sharpening whetstone(03 of04)

Whetstones (also known as sharpening stones or water stones) are the preferred tool for sharpening knives because they give you, the cook, complete control. Sharpening stones are basically long, rectangular blocks of composite stone, typically with a coarse grit on one side and a fine grit on the other side. Read our guide to learn how to use one. (credit:Amazon)

A honing steel(04 of04)

Most people confuse a honing steel with a sharpener. It’s a ridged metal wand that you run your knife across (you’ve probably seen flashy cooking show contestants dramatically swiping them through the air like swashbucklers with swords.) While a honing steel does help a knife slice better, it doesn’t actually sharpen the blade. Rather, it re-aligns the microscopic teeth on your knife's blades that get out of alignment through daily use, making your knife feel sharper. It's an everyday must-have! (credit:Amazon)
