How Do You Prepare For Thanksgiving Dinner?
Thanksgiving dinner can be stressful, and it does takes some work to prepare for it. Of course you can buy already-made food. But nothing compares to a homemade Thanksgiving dinner. Not to mention you also save a lot of money by preparing for the dinner yourself. This guide will help you plan and prepare your Thanksgiving dinner. Step 1 This classic Thanksgiving dinner consists of roast turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce, stuffing, a side vegetable dish (maybe beans?) and a dessert (sweet potato or pumpkin pie). Shop for the ingredients 4 or 5 days before. Step 2 3 days before, make the cranberry sauce and refrigerate. If turkey is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator. Step 3 1 day before, set your table. Assemble your dessert pie and refrigerate. Make the vegetable dish and refrigerate. Step 4 5 hours before, prepare stuffing. Stuff the turkey and roast. Bring cranberry sauce to room temperature. Step 5 1 hour before, while the turkey rests, make gravy. If you have extra stuffing, bake it.
