Rooting for creative side dishes with carbs on Thanksgiving

For many of us, cranking out Thanksgiving dinner is like being the chef at a restaurant whose menu never, ever changes. And that's fine, we guess. But sometimes the family cook dreams of shaking things up a bit. Of course, the turkey is – you should pardon the expression – the sacred cow. It ill behooves you to mess with it. Oh, you may have tried deep-frying it, or brining it, but you were probably roundly scolded for trying to "sabotage" your family.
