Though Thanksgiving is yet over a month away, eager foodies have already started plotting the year's most indulgent feast. And for such mouthwatering inspiration, we thank our friends at norecipes.com for this Cinnamon Harissa Turkey recipe. Omitting gravy, Marc brined the turkey in water, brown sugar, cloves, salt and pepper before applying a rub with cinnamon, sumac, cumin, coriander and harissa to create a gloriously golden, moist and spicy-sweet bird.

Marc created an entire West Asian Thanksgiving meal last year, accompanying the heritage turkey with a Fiery Cinnamon Cranberry Sauce, Tahini Mashed Potatoes, Brussel Sprouts Caramelized with Pomegranate Molasses and more. And though we were wowed by his creativity, we wonder how far we'd be willing to stray from old family recipes.

Would you be open to shirking tradition and creating an exotic Thanksgiving meal this year? Tell us how much you're willing to deviate in the comments!

Ingredient Spotlight: Harissa

What Tabasco is to Avery Island, harissa is to Tunisia. This brick red tomato, garlic and spice paste is stirred into stews, served as a condiment for elaborate couscous dishes, and used as a rub for meat. Though originally Tunisian, it's ubiquitous in Moroccan and Algerian cooking as well, and tends to show up wherever North African food is served, whether at a Parisian kebab joint or a Manhattan merguez sandwich stand. I like to use it to spice up bean dishes, mix it with a little mayo for a sandwich spread, and stir it into yogurt as a dressing for cold lamb.

You can find harissa in cans or bottles at many North African and Middle Eastern markets, or you can make your own. Mediterranean food expert Clifford A. Wright has a good recipe on his website, using guajillo chiles easily found in Hispanic markets.

I have never eaten crab. I'm not a big fan of seafood in general (I do like clams, scallops, haddock, and fish sticks), and I especially hate lobster (I gag just typing the word). But for those of you who like soft-shell crab, some recipes: Sauteed Soft-Shell Crabs With Parsley Mayo; Soft-Shell Po Boys; and Crabmeat Salad in Avocado Halves.
It's summer, and the barbecue articles keep a comin'. This one tells you the right way to barbecue ribs.
Summertime is also salad time (though I find myself eating more salads in the fall, go figure), and here's the history of the Cobb Salad.
Ask The Cook: How the heck do you get that chicken residue stuff out of your food processor? (scroll down)
