Thanksgiving dinner is one of the most important meals of the year. It is a chance to spend some quality time with your family members and friends，plus for cooks.It is the time to prepare traditional comfort food.
感恩节晚宴作为一年当中最为重要的晚宴之一，准备丰盛的传统食物，与家人或朋友一起庆祝节日，是一次令人难忘的美好时光。
Thanksgiving is not Thanksgiving without the turkey. A relatively new technique in cooking turkey is deep-frying the bird before roasting it，giving it crisp，golden brown skin.Keep the turkey moist by regularly basting it with its own drippings，plus don't forget the stuffing for additional flavor and moisture inside the bird's cavity.A secondary main dish during Thanksgiving is a leg of ham.For those who are not fond of turkey，a leg of oven-roasted ham with honey Dijon sauce is an excellent alternative.
感恩节不能没有火鸡。一种最新的烤火鸡的方法就是在烤火鸡之前，先把火鸡炸一遍，让它的外皮金黄而又酥脆。为保持火鸡湿润，需在鸡肉上涂抹其本身的油脂，别忘了填料作为调味品，并保持火鸡内部湿润。感恩节的第二道主菜当属火腿。那些不喜欢吃火鸡的人，可以享用带着蜂蜜酱的火腿。
Pumpkin pies，whether store-bought or homemade，cap most Thanksgiving meals. Add some pecans to the pumpkin pie's crust for a crunchier take on the classic.You can also try making a pumpkin cheesecake，instead of the more traditional pumpkin pie.Another classic American dish is the apple pie，which can be enhanced by pouring some caramel sauce directly on top of the pie just before serving it.Add some crunch to the pie by toasting some walnuts or almonds and sprinkling them on top of the creation.
南瓜派，无论是购买的还是家庭自制的，都是感恩节的点睛之笔。用山核桃放在南瓜派外层皮上，吃起来脆脆的，很经典。你可以试试做南瓜奶酪饼，作为传统南瓜派的替代品。另一道经典美式甜品就是苹果派，吃的时候，淋上一点焦糖更美味。制作的时候，在苹果派上面放一点胡桃仁或杏仁会更脆。
