We have collected the very best of the best: more than 275  of the most outstanding recipes ever published in Pillsbury Classic® Cookbooks. You'll find start-to-finish instructions for great home-cooked family meals and successful special-occasion entertaining, from appetizers through dessert.

Cooking styles have evolved over the years. Today's recipes are shorter, quicker and leaner, and the pantry of the 1990s and beyond includes couscous, pesto and other "new" choices. Classic cookbook readers seek balance between contemporary flavors and familiar favorites, and have a special appreciation for recipes that update traditional dishes with a simple "twist."

White Bean-Turkey Meatball Chili
prep time: 30 min. (ready in 50 min.)
yield: 5 (1 1/2-cup) servings

Ground turkey is a good choice for meatballs with good flavor and texture but less fat than those made with ground beef and/or pork. A touch of sugar in the chili brings out the flavor of the vegetables.

MEATBALLS
1 lb. lean ground turkey
1/4 cup unseasoned dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 egg

CHILI
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1 x 1/4 x 1/4-inch strips
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (28-oz.) can whole tomatoes, undrained, cut up
1 (15.5-oz.) can great northern beans, drained
1 (14 1/2-oz.) can ready-to-serve chicken broth
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon cumin
3 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt

In medium bowl, combine all meatball ingredients; mix well. Shape into 24 (11/2-inch) balls.
Spray large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat over medium heat until hot. Add meatballs; cook 8 to 10 minutes or until browned on all sides and no longer pink in center.
In Dutch oven or large saucepan, combine all chili ingredients; mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; add meatballs. Simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
