Tips for a successful Thanksgiving Dinner

• A successful Thanksgiving dinner always begins with planning.
  • Write down your menu
  • Plan a shopping list
  • Determine which items you can make ahead of time
  • Plan for extra storage
  • Examine your tableware - plates, silverware, glasses, linens, and serving dishes.
    • Plan out each serving dish. Label each dish with the contents that will fill the dish at serving time. This helps make certain you have enough dishes and it allows others to help out at the last minute.
  • Write out a timeline for cooking your meal on Thanksgiving Day.
• Allow others to help
  • Assign your guest to bring side dishes or desserts
  • Assign tasks in the kitchen prior to serving
  • Allow help with cleanup
• Take time to enjoy
  • Enjoy the conversation, your family and friends, and the food!
  • Don't stress and if things don't go quite as planned, it's okay!

Make ahead Thanksgiving tips

• Make any dishes that can be made ahead of time
• Peel and slice potatoes, cover potatoes in water
• Cut up any vegetables, onions, and garlic for your recipes
• Prep your turkey - make certain your bird is fully thawed. Remove the package of organs from the cavity of your turkey. Check both ends and make certain there's nothing extra under the flap of skin around the neck. Rinse and dry the bird and store covered with plastic wrap on a baking sheet in the refrigerator. Do not stuff your turkey with stuffing until just before placing it in the oven. Your stuffing should be fully cooled when stuffing your bird. Many people also cook their stuffing separately.
• Make a turkey broth with neck, gizzard, heart and other organs included in the turkey package. This is often used for basting your turkey, making your stuffing extra moist and adding to the gravy.
