While not exactly Thanksgiving dinner, this pumpkin-turkey-gravy doughnut from Zucker Bakery sure gives the Thanksgiving croissant from Momofuku Milk Bar a run for its money. The rich treat is actually a twist on a Hanukkah goodie -- the doughtnut -- and stuffed with traditional Thanksgiving favorites. There are two varieties available: One doughnut comes with turkey and gravy, the other with turkey and cranberry. The East Village bakery is also serving sweet potato version with toasted marshmallow.
