Thanksgiving is about being with the people you love and saying what you're grateful for. It doesn't need a dozen dishes, and the sides can be full of good vegetables.
But the whole meal can't be cooked on the day. This guide spreads the work out, starting now and ending the day before Thanksgiving, so you can check things off as you go.
A little at a time, right up to the big day
Now
Order the turkey, buy the wine, and freeze your pie crust.
A week or more ahead
Set the table, plan the centerpiece, and make the cranberry sauce.
A couple days out
Make the dressing and do the chopping.
The day before
Appetizers, dessert, and the whipped cream.
Equipment Checklist
