Thrifty chicken drumsticks pick up all the zesty flavors of curry paste, herbs and peanut sauce in this fast/slow curry dish.

The moist environment of the Instant Pot or slow cooker helps artichokes become extra tender. Here they are stuffed with Italian sausage, Parmesan cheese and herby bread crumbs and served with a tangy balsamic red pepper sauce. Serve as an appetizer or pair with a salad for a main.

It sounds like a ton, but the garlic cloves in this classic French recipe mellow and melt into a delicious sauce as they cook. Save on prep time by buying pre-peeled garlic; look for it in the produce department where fresh herbs are sold. For the most accurate cook time, buy a chicken as close to 4 pounds as possible – any larger and it may not fit in the Instant Pot.

Tender beef, aromatic spices and rice noodles all cook in the same pot in this easy soup. Garnished with fresh bean sprouts, basil, cilantro, jalapeño and shaved onions, it’s a great combo of hearty and fresh, all in one bowl. For even more heat and color, serve with sliced chiles over top.

Sunny and umami flavors are the hallmarks of this seafood-based casserole. The herb mixture made at the top of the recipe is a simple pesto-style sauce that would taste terrific on your favorite grilled fish, too.

Buffalo wing sauce is the signature ingredient that gives this casserole its tangy, fiery kick. Since this recipe uses cooked chicken, this is a delicious dish to whip up when you have leftover rotisserie chicken hanging out in the fridge.

This turkey is a labor of love, but the juicy results are totally worth the effort. Here, we use deboned meat, which cooks through faster than a whole bird, and the finished roll is easier to slice at the table. Ask your butcher to prepare it for you in advance, and request that they reserve about half of the bones as you’ll need them to make the gravy. A cranberry glaze is brushed on the turkey while roasting, while a homemade gravy gets drizzled on after serving.

These baked spinach-stuffed sweet potatoes topped with crispy bacon are hearty and delicious and packed with energy-boosting vitamins.

Don’t be fooled by the simple ingredients in these tacos. Together, the earthy, cumin-spiced chicken, sweet grilled onions and herbaceous salsa taste sensational.

This celebration of summer combines lemon-herbed ricotta, juicy heirloom tomatoes and a scattering of fresh herbs onto premade crusts – easy as pie. Swap in gluten-free or grain-free crusts to accommodate any dietary restrictions.

The picnic must-have.
