Get Thanksgiving done before Thanksgiving.

The Thanksgiving Make-Ahead Plan gives you one small job a day for 21 days. The freezer fills first, the fridge stays clear for the last week, and on Thursday you mostly reheat.

  • A 21-day checklist, from gravy on day one to stuffed mushrooms on the day itself
  • How long each dish keeps, and how to thaw and reheat it
  • A turkey thaw chart with the date to move your bird to the fridge
  • A one-page planner for your menu, guest count and shopping list
Two pages of the Thanksgiving Make-Ahead Plan: the turkey thaw chart and the 21-day checklist
