The Ultimate Guide to Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

The best way to cook a stress-free dinner is to think ahead, which is why we’ve created this comprehensive Thanksgiving guide with tips, techniques, and game plans that will help you host your best Turkey Day yet, whether you’re organizing your first Thanksgiving or your 40th. For more holiday tips, check out our Guide to Friendsgiving as well.

Tips for Planning Your Thanksgiving Menu

When you host Thanksgiving, you’re in charge of creating the menu. Whether you’re cooking one dish or the whole feast, you need a solid plan.

1. Think About Oven Space

If you’re responsible for roasting the turkey and only have one oven, be sure you have a solid plan for how and when that oven will be used. And don’t discount a toaster oven, some of which are large enough to bake easy Thanksgiving desserts and casseroles, or at least reheat them. Check out our guide to Thanksgiving recipes you can make ahead.

And consider mixing in some no-cook sides, like our Kale-Apple Slaw with Poppy Seed Dressing recipe.

2. Make It a Potluck

Even the story of the first Thanksgiving describes a potluck, so there’s no shame in sharing the work with your guests. Ask people to volunteer to make sides or give out assignments. If your crowd is open to trying new dishes, consider making this Roasted and Raw Brussels Sprouts Salad with Pecorino and Pomegranate or a Healthy Root Vegetable Grain with Buttery Walnuts, both recipes from the “Modern Potluck” cookbook. Or elevate a classic, as with our Herbed Fresh Green Bean Casserole recipe below.

3. Supplement Your Thanksgiving Menu with High-Quality Store-Bought Items

Friends or family members can’t cook? Or don’t want to? To spare your own sanity, choose the Thanksgiving recipes you most want to make and outsource the rest to a local store or chef. Besides, what does Ina always say? Store. Bought. Is. Fine.

We rounded up some of the best cookies, cakes, and pies to have delivered if you want to outsource dessert, or you could just stop by your local Trader Joe’s. We also collected the best Thanksgiving meal kits and delivery options, from heritage turkeys to entire feasts, including a vegan Thanksgiving box that can serve as a full meal for a small group, or be incorporated into a larger omnivorous spread if you’re hosting vegan guests.

4. Be Sure to Include Some Lighter and Brighter Dishes

With mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and turkey with gravy, Thanksgiving dinner can be a bit mushy, heavy, and fairly sweet. To counteract those flavors and textures, be sure to serve a crisp, tangy salad, like our Bitter Greens with Caper Vinaigrette recipe.

Chowhound

5. Don’t be Afraid to Compromise

If your crowd insists on a classic Thanksgiving menu but you like to cook more adventurously, pick your battles. For example, ask your aunt to make her famous buttery mashed potatoes for the purists. Then you can sauté Jerusalem artichokes to introduce your guests to something new.  Try our Jerusalem Artichokes with Crispy Prosciutto recipe below.

If you’re willing to subvert even the most entrenched traditions (and don’t think your guests will riot), try these unique Thanksgiving turkey recipes and updated pumpkin pie recipes for your table.

Tips for the Thanksgiving Turkey

While you can rub your turkey with herb butter and make an elaborate sherry-cream gravy, sometimes, the best Thanksgiving turkey recipes are the simplest, requiring little more than a good quality bird, butter, and salt.

1. To Start, Buy the Right Size Turkey

When choosing the bird, a good rule of thumb is 1 pound per person, which gives you enough meat for Thanksgiving dinner plus a little bit of leftovers. If you love tons of leftovers, either to keep for yourself or give to your guests, go with 1 ½ pounds per person.

This pasture-raised turkey free of antibiotics and added hormones is far better than your average grocery store bird, but they do ship frozen, so factor in defrost time.

2. Defrost Well in Advance

If your turkey is frozen and you plan to thaw it in the refrigerator, assume it will take at least three days. The quicker way to go is to submerge a well-wrapped turkey in cold water—this will take about 30 minutes per pound, so you’ll still want to thaw one day ahead or very early in the day.

3. Dry Brine, If There’s Time

For the most flavorful, crisp-skinned, and juicy bird, rub the thawed turkey with salt and refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours before drying the skin, rubbing with butter and roasting. Try our Dry-Brined Roast Turkey recipe.

For more tips, see our How to Cook a Turkey guide.

Tips for Making and Rolling a Flaky Pie Crust

Pumpkin or pecan, pies are almost as important, if not more so, than the turkey, and all-butter pie crusts have the best flavor, so it’s worth making your own from scratch. If you’re too intimidated and flakiness isn’t a huge concern, you can always opt for a basic pumpkin pie with a press-in crust. This Graham Cracker Crust recipe is also great for pastry novices.

Chowhound

Otherwise, try these tips:

1. Keep the Butter Cold and Use Ice Water

The pockets of cold butter in the dough release steam, pushing up on the flour to create flaky layers. If your butter gets too warm, the crust will be tasty but not flaky.

2. Let the Dough Rest

After you make the dough, refrigerate it for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days. Resting is crucial because it chills the dough, allows it to fully hydrate, and gives the flour’s gluten a chance relax, resulting in a more tender crust.

3. Generously Dust the Work Surface and Rolling Pin

Before you roll out the dough, flour your surface and rolling pin to prevent sticking and add more flour if necessary as you work. Another trick to keep the dough from sticking: Give it a quarter turn after each roll.

Thanksgiving Game Plan

Preparation is key when cooking a meal for so many people with so many dishes. This Thanksgiving timeline list will help you stay organized.

  • Make pie dough and freeze: Be sure to wrap the crusts in double layers of plastic so they don’t absorb flavors from the freezer.
  • Order turkey. If you plan to cook a turkey from a local farm or specialty market, order your bird before they run out.
  • Buy drinks and pantry ingredients. Avoid the last minute rush on canned pumpkin, canned cranberry sauce, and booze. If you end up with more pumpkin than you need, use it in other baked goods, like this Chocolate Swirl Pumpkin Bread.
  • Make your gravy. That’s right. There’s no need to wait until the few minutes before you serve Thanksgiving dinner to make the gravy. You can do it before Halloween even hits and keep it frozen until the big day. Try this make-ahead gravy recipe—and see what other to Thanksgiving recipes you can make ahead (and how best to freeze, thaw, and reheat them).
  • Plan out the side dishes. Whether you’re making the whole meal, hosting potluck style, or buying pre-made sides, now’s the time to create that list so nothing gets forgotten.
  • Be sure you have enough cooking and serving dishes and the right tools. If it’s your first time hosting Thanksgiving dinner, you might need to invest in a few platters and oven-to-table baking dishes. While a large stainless steel roasting pan is a great piece of equipment to own, you can always use disposable aluminum baking pans from the grocery store in a pinch. If you don’t already own a long pair of tongs, you won’t regret investing in a pair: They’re immensely helpful when trying to maneuver the turkey. And it’s nice to have enough serving utensils for every dish.

  • Pick up fresh turkey or defrost frozen turkey. As mentioned above, frozen turkeys take days to thaw so plan ahead.
  • Buy fresh ingredients for Thanksgiving side dishes. This is when you’ll do the bulk of your shopping for your Thanksgiving side dishes. If you can shop at a farmers’ market, even better. In-season fall vegetables, like Brussels sprouts, kale, winter squash, onions, and other root vegetables are usually fresher and tastier than those at the supermarket. Be sure to pick up some extra butter and cream as well—you can never have too much on Thanksgiving.
  • Think about your ice situation. Buy bags if you need extra and have room to keep them frozen. Otherwise, assign someone with ice duty.
  • Dry-brine your turkey. Be sure to keep the bird on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, away from other ingredients.
  • Defrost pie dough and gravy. Transfer dough and gravy to the refrigerator so it’s ready to use over the next couple of days.

Thanksgiving Day

  • Bake fruit pies. If you’re doing apple or pear pies, you’ll want to get these in the oven before the turkey and cooled before guests arrive.
  • Bring turkey to room temperature. This will help the turkey cook more quickly and evenly and free up refrigerator space as well.
  • Prepare side dishes to serve at room temperature. Roast vegetables, mix together salads (but don’t dress anything delicate yet), and make homemade cranberry sauce if you haven’t already (or open up the can, slide it onto a serving dish, and cover with plastic wrap ’til it’s time to eat).
  • Prepare snacks or starters. Wash and slice up vegetables for crudités; assemble any cheese board components that don’t need to be refrigerated; make dips.
  • Set the table. No need to leave this task until the last minute. If you’re serving buffet style, arrange empty platters on your serving area to make sure you have enough room for everything.
  • Arrange the drinks area. If you’re hosting a lot of people, set up a self-serve bar away from the kitchen.
  • Roast turkey: Assume you need about 20 minutes per pound in a 350°F oven for an unstuffed turkey and about 1 hour longer for one that’s stuffed. In the end, you want to cook the turkey until it reaches 160°F on an instant-read thermometer (and at least 165°F as it rests.)
  • Peel and chop potatoes for mashed potatoes. Keep them refrigerated covered in water so they don’t discolor.
  • When people arrive, set out starters. Put these with the drinks, away from the kitchen.
  • Recruit one or two helpers. No need to shoulder all the work yourself. Get their help with last-minute reheats.
  • Warm side dishes. Let the turkey rest while you reheat the stuffing and other casseroles in the oven.
  • Make mashed potatoes. While you can make them a few hours ahead and keep them warm over low heat (or in a slow cooker), this is one dish that’s often easiest to make just before serving. See our guide to the best mashed potatoes for more pointers.
  • Warm the gravy. Since you made it ahead, you can easily do this on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  • Carve turkey. For a primer, watch this video.
  • Dress salads. And now it’s finally time to feast!

Dishes morph into each other so you learn not only the recipe itself but how to transform it into a related thing (flatbread becomes crackers, soda bread, or scones, for instance).

Think Chipotle Chicken Tostadas with Pineapple Salsa, and Mediterranean Fish en Papillote (which is basically a fancy foil packet, so don’t let the name intimidate you). You’ll also find healthy date night dinners and a “Cleaned-up Kid Food” chapter so the whole family can eat well. Just the thing to start you off right in 2020.Buy Now

Healthy Eating Helpers

Vegan, vegetarian, keto, Whole30, gluten-free—what were once niche cookbooks are now mainstream, and we couldn’t be happier. Even if you don’t follow any specific diet, with the right cookbook (hint: any of the below fit the bill), you can add plenty of new healthy and delicious recipes to your repertoire.

“Umami Bomb: 75 Vegetarian Recipes That Explode with Flavor” by Raquel Pelzel, $19.95 on Amazon

Umami Bomb vegetarian cookbook 2019

Amazon

Publish Date: September 3, 2019

“Whole Food Cooking Every Day: Transform the Way You Eat” by Amy Chaplin, $28 on Amazon

Whole Food healthy cookbook 2019

Amazon

Publish Date: September 17, 2019

Whole foods (not to be confused with Whole Foods) are essentially just ingredients in their natural form, or as close to it as possible. This cookbook highlights them in master recipes that can then be transformed into multiple satisfying meals throughout the week so it’s actually easy to stick to your best intentions (without sacrificing any flavor).Buy Now

Weeknight Winners

This is the biggest category of contenders for our precious shelf space, but we don’t know if we can pare it down. Maybe we’ll just buy a new bookcase.

“Canal House: Cook Something (Recipes to Rely On)” by Christopher Hirsheimer & Melissa Hamilton, $34.38 on Amazon

Canal House cookbook 2019

Amazon

Publish Date: September 10, 2019

This cookbook appeals to everyone, from beginning cooks to jaded vets in need of a little inspiration. It includes 300 basic (but brilliant) recipes that become building blocks for satisfying, simple meals you’ll make again and again, with the added help of step-by-step photographs. Whether you’re looking for something to do with a can of tuna or want to make a souffle from scratch, you’re covered.Buy Now

“Milk Street: The New Rules: Recipes That Will Change the Way You Cook” by Christopher Kimball, $35 on Amazon

Milk Street New Rules cookbook 2019

Amazon

Publish Date: October 15, 2019

There are 200 recipes in this book and each of them illustrates one of 75 smart cooking rules and hacks that you’ll be able to use to inform your own dishes when you want to improvise. But we bet it’ll be hard to pass up the actual example recipes like charred broccoli with toasted sesame sauce (which shows you can—illogical though it may sound—combat bitterness by charring) and curry-coconut pot roast (which illustrates how less liquid equals more flavor) even the tenth time around.Buy Now

“Lateral Cooking: One Dish Leads to Another” by Niki Segnit, $26.43 on Amazon

Lateral Cooking cookbook 2019

Amazon

Publish Date: November 5, 2019

This book shares the same spirit of learning rules and formulas in order to branch out and make your own meals—but there are indeed recipes here too; in fact, with simple tweaks, one morphs into another (flatbread becomes crackers or scones with only minor changes, for instance). It’s a natural companion to Segnit’s previous book, “The Flavor Thesaurus,” and a solid foundation for anyone to stand on in the kitchen.Buy Now

Other books we’re eyeing include one all about lasagna; a revised and updated Mark Bittman classic; a Food52 chicken cookbook that makes the original white meat exciting again; an oven-to-table tome from Diana Henry; dude-driven dinner ideas that are indulgent but still (mostly) healthy; a new Molly Stevens offering; and a new “Joy of Cooking” (…so maybe we’ll get two new bookcases).

International Eating

We love globetrotting, even if it’s only in our own kitchens.

Sababa Israeli cookbook fall 2019

Cook Like a Local international cookbook fall 2019

Amazon

Publish Date: September 3, 2019

This is a Houston-centric cookbook, so what’s it doing in the international category? Well, the city is home to a diverse group of immigrant chefs and cooks, and fellow local chef Chris Shepherd draws on their international knowledge for recipes that celebrate the flavors of their countries of origin, including Vietnam, Korea, and India, while not being entirely bound to tradition (see: braised goat with Korean rice dumplings, and fried vegetables with caramelized fish sauce). The idea is to broaden your horizons and enfold the flavors of other countries into your own cooking every day.Buy Now

“Jubilee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African-American Cooking” by Toni Tipton-Martin, $31.50 on Amazon

Like all the best cookbooks, though, this one will feed a lot more than just your stomach.Buy Now

We’re also looking at a few more southern specials including a coastal south cookbook and an update of a 1980s Appalachian cookbook, plus a Brooklyn-centric Italian-American treatise.
