Here's a radical idea for Thanksgiving dinner: Don't sweat it. This year, we've removed most of the anxiety and planning by asking an all-star cast of chefs for their simplest no-stress, bound-to-please holiday recipes—from a fast-roasting turkey and a decadent stuffing to spectacular sides (maple-roasted butternut squash, a zingy orange-endive salad, and spicy Parmesan-spiked green beans), plus a heavenly twist on the de rigueur pumpkin dessert. We even have the perfect Thanksgiving cocktail. Now all you have to do is cook—but trust us, that part will be a breeze.
