If you’re looking to really impress your holiday guests this year, plan a celebrity chef Thanksgiving menu. We turned to Chef Todd English, renowned restaurateur and author of Cooking in Everyday English, The ABCs of Great Flavor at Home (Oxmoor, 2011), for gourmet-caliber Thanksgiving recipes that will create a memorable holiday menu.

For a little extra kick, spice up the meat with some Tobasco or your favorite hot sauce.
