Last year, Giada De Laurentiis helped us conquer Christmas with her oh-so-Instagrammable crostini Christmas tree, her best budget-friendly wine recommendations and her bountiful Feast of the Seven Fishes menu. And this week, just in time to contribute to your final Turkey Day prep, the chef/cookbook author/Food Network star is back with a preview of what will grace her table this year.

Each year, De Laurentiis likes to put a new Italian-inspired spin on the classic holiday. "Thanksgiving is not celebrated in Italy—matter of fact, Italians have their own endearing title for it: 'La Festa del Tacchino,' aka, 'the turkey party!' However, for everyone who celebrates the holiday, Italian dishes tend to lend themselves to the autumnal feast," the culinary ace explains on her Giadzy website.
