A turkey club sandwich wouldn’t be complete without a handful of crunchy potato chips and a salty pickle spear on the side. Oven-baked fries, fruit salad, creamy coleslaw and potato salad are other classic sandwich sides. For a lighter lunch option, go halfsies by serving half a turkey club with a warm cup of vegetable soup.

New Englanders love a butter-based pie crust, so consider making a double batch of classic butter pie pastry for this dessert.

Unfortunately, you can’t get around the fact that in order to create the confetti-like effect of a perfect bite fruit salad, you have to spend some time chopping fruit. There are a lot of great food-processor recipes, but a food processor is not as useful here because it will yield unevenly sized pieces of fruit and risk turning more delicate fruits into a puree. Make sure you start with a sharpened knife, and take comfort that the best way to get faster at chopping is just through practice.

Western iced tea is usually only served with sugar and a lemon slice, whereas Thai iced tea is steeped with warming spices and mixed with sweetened condensed milk.

Serve spinach shrimp fettuccine as a one-pot meal, or set a light mixed salad and some crusty French bread on the side. Homemade salad dressing takes minutes and enhances the meal’s upmarket feel. Lemony Italian dressing matches the flavors in the spinach shrimp pasta, and honey mustard dressing balances the pasta’s sharp garlic and acidic tomatoes with a bit of sweetness. For a hot side dish, roast another vegetable like asparagus, broccoli or green beans. For a multicourse meal, set out the bread slices first with green olive tapenade and follow the pasta with berries with vanilla custard.
