A bright, ginger-orange vinaigrette is the ideal accompaniment to Crispy Striped Bass with Citrus Soba. Say hello to your new favorite feel-good meal!

Crispy Striped Bass with Citrus Soba

soba noodles

sugar

orange orange juice

tbsp. rice vinegar

tsp. grated peeled fresh ginger

Kosher salt and pepper

shallot,

olive oil

Cook soba 2 minutes less than package directions. Add snap peas and cook until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain soba and snap peas.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, whisk together orange zest, orange juice, vinegar, ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add shallot and let sit 5 minutes. 

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet on medium. Season fish with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, then cook, skin side down, until skin is crisp and golden brown, about 7 minutes. Flip and cook until fish is opaque throughout, 2 to 4 minutes more. 

To serve, divide dressing among bowls. Top with soba (rinsing if needed), snap peas, then fish.

Bite into a Philly cheesesteak slider stacked with griddled ribeye, golden onions, and melty Cheez Whiz. This mini sandwich recipe is a game day essential!

Philly Cheesesteak Sliders

lb. boneless ribeye steak

vegetable oil

yellow onion, chopped

kosher salt

tsp. black pepper

c. Cheez Whiz (homemade

(16-oz.) package dinner rolls

unsalted butter, melted

garlic salt

banana peppers, optional

Place the steak in the freezer until firm, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

On a secure cutting board, use a very sharp knife to slice the chilled steak,&nbsp;against the grain, as thinly as possible into shavings.

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and allow it to heat until just smoking. Add the meat, onion, salt, and pepper, and allow the meat to sear without disturbing it for 5 to 7 minutes. Using a metal spatula, flip the meat and continue to cook, stirring frequently and chopping the meat with the spatula, until the meat and onions are nicely browned, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from the heat.

Place the Cheez Whiz in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power until pourable, 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 15 seconds.

Remove the rolls from the packaging in one piece. Using a serrated knife, cut crosswise through all of the rolls at once to divide the top half from the bottom (keeping the sides of the rolls intact). Place the bottom half cut-side up on a sheet tray.

Scoop the meat and onion mixture into an even layer over the rolls. Stir the Cheez Whiz&nbsp;and spoon it evenly over the meat. Place the top bun cut-side down over the cheese.

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic salt. Brush the slider buns with the butter mixture.

Bake until the tops of the rolls are golden and toasted, 10 to 12 minutes. Pull the sliders apart and serve warm, with pickled peppers, if you like.&nbsp;

These country-style ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender. They're coated in a simple spice rub recipe and barbecue sauce and slow roasted in the oven.

Country-Style Ribs

tbsp. black pepper

cayenne pepper

lb. country-style pork ribs

c. barbecue sauce,

Preheat the oven to 275°F. In a small bowl, stir together the salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Season the ribs all over with the spice mixture. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil. Arrange the ribs in a single layer on the baking sheets. Cover the ribs tightly with foil and bake until tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Carefully uncover the ribs, and drain any liquid from the baking sheet.

Brush both sides of ribs evenly with 1 cup of barbecue sauce. Return to the oven and bake until ribs are fall-apart tender, about 15 to 30 minutes. Serve ribs with additional barbecue sauce.

Everything you need to know to deep fry a turkey, from how long to what temperature and how much oil to use.

How to Deep-Fry a Turkey

vegetable, canola or peanut oil

dry brined turkey (12–14 pounds)

Carefully pour oil into the turkey fryer's&nbsp;tub or pot up to the MAX fill line.&nbsp;If using an outdoor fryer, take this time to set your turkey up on the frying accessory. (Remember all fryers are different, so follow the instructions in your user guide.)

Heat oil until it reaches 375ºF. In the meantime, pat dry brined turkey dry with paper towels. 

Add your turkey to the basket and tuck in the wings.&nbsp;Refer to your deep fryer's user guide for instructions on how to safely lower your turkey into the oil. If using an outdoor fryer, you should&nbsp;turn off the flame and&nbsp;gently (and slowly)&nbsp;lower your turkey into the oil until it's completely submerged, then close the lid and turn the flame back on and set a timer.&nbsp;When using an indoor fryer, gently lower the basket into the oil for 30 seconds, then carefully remove and place on a sheet pan to rest.

Fry turkey until thigh reaches an internal temperature of 180ºF, 3 to 4 min per pound.&nbsp;When the timer expires, turn off the heat and&nbsp;use the fryer's included handling tools to&nbsp;carefully lift the turkey out of the oil – the slower, the better to allow oil to drip out of the turkey and to avoid accidentally dropping it back in, which could cause burning.&nbsp;

&nbsp;Cautiously transfer to a cooling rack set atop a sheet pan to drain. Let rest for at least 20 min before carving.

Get adventurous in the kitchen! Try deep frying instead of oven roasting a turkey. Here’s how to achieve a perfect, crispy deep-fried turkey.

How to Deep Fry a Turkey

Top sausage-filled stuffed peppers with fried eggs for a meal that's perfect for brunch or dinner.

Sausage and Egg Stuffed Peppers

large bell peppers (any color)

bulk breakfast sausage

garlic cloves,

plum tomatoes,

c. cooked white or brown rice

c. baby spinach

c. shredded cheddar-jack cheese

sauce,

Preheat the oven to 375 ̊. Trim the bottoms of the bell peppers (without creating any holes) so they sit upright without tipping over. Next, cut off the tops. Remove and discard the stems, then finely chop the tops; set aside. Scoop out and discard the seeds and membranes.

Place the bell peppers in a microwave-safe bowl with 1⁄2 cup water. Cover and microwave until beginning to soften, 7 to 12 minutes. Uncover and set aside until cool enough to handle. Stand up the peppers in a baking dish just large enough to hold them.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up into small crumbles, until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove to a plate.

Add the onion, garlic and the chopped bell peppers to the drippings in the skillet. Cook until starting to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, until they break down, about 2 minutes. Return the sausage to the pan along with the rice, spinach, salt and pepper; stir until the spinach wilts. Remove from the heat and fold in the cheese.

Fill the bell peppers with the rice mixture, leaving 1⁄2 inch of space at the top. Pour 1⁄2 cup water into the baking dish. Bake, uncovered, until the filling is heated through, about 15 minutes.

Remove from the oven&nbsp;and carefully crack 1 egg into each stuffed pepper. Bake, uncovered, until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 15 to 20 minutes more. Serve with hot sauce.

Craving comfort food? This chicken and stuffing casserole is just the recipe for you! Swap in leftover holiday turkey and stuffing if you have some to use up.

Chicken and Stuffing Casserole

onion

c. chopped carrot

celery

c. all-purpose flour

c. low-sodium chicken broth, divided

c. chicken

c. frozen peas

heavy cream

turmeric

Nonstick cooking spray

parsley,

In a Dutch oven, melt 1/2 cup of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery, and cook until the vegetables are beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute.&nbsp;

Gradually stir in 4 cups of the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat medium-low. Simmer, stirring often, for about 5 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken. Stir in the chicken, peas, cream, thyme, salt, pepper, and turmeric. Return to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes more.&nbsp;

Spray a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray and pour in the chicken mixture. Place the remaining 1/2 cup of butter in a large, microwave safe bowl. Cover and cook on high for 1 minute to melt. Stir in the stuffing mix, remaining 2 cups of chicken broth, and the parsley. Let stand 2 minutes or until the stuffing mix has absorbed the broth.&nbsp;

Top the chicken mixture evenly with the stuffing mixture. Bake until golden brown on top and bubbly around the edges, 30 to 35 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes. Sprinkle with additional chopped parsley before serving.
