We’re all about Thanksgiving tradition. I mean, what’s not to love? There’s family, oven-roasted bird, and football. That said – doing and eating the exact same thing can get a little old. So, this year, breathe new life into the most American of holidays with these tips.

1. Make Your Turkey with Truffle Butter
What makes everything better? (If you said “truffles,” you’re so, so right.) Roast your turkey with black-truffle butter and white-wine gravy for a luxe take on this annual main dish.

2. Try Baked Apples Instead of Apple Pie 
Apple pie is a classic… that is far less healthy than it sounds. Skip the crust – but not your fix of brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon – with a more fruit-focused treat.
