Published 6 months agoΒ β€’Β 1 min read

Whether you're hosting thanksgiving for the first time, just making a few of the components or a seasoned pro looking for some new tips, check out my Thanksgiving guide below!

It includes:

  • Tips for making the best possible turkey
  • A list of make ahead recipes to save you stress on Thursday
  • A timeline for Thanksgiving day
  • Recipes for every component of the meal

In case this is your first time making the turkey, here are some kitchen tools I recommend having:

  • ​Roasting pan with a rack​
  • ​Kitchen Twine - for tying up your turkey legs
  • ​Silicone Brush - for basting your turkey while cooking
  • ​Thermapen - my favorite instant thermometer. A good thermometer is key for avoiding a dry turkey.
  • ​8" Chef Knife - my favorite all around kitchen knife that I use for many kitchen tasks including carving a turkey!
