The key to a successful Thanksgiving is planning. Know what needs to be done when it needs to be done and how much effort and time it will take. There’s no better way to ruin a peaceful evening than by scrambling at the last minute to make sure your turkey is cooked through the gravy isn’t burning or that there are enough martinis flowing into Grandpa’s empty glass.

The best way to ensure your kitchen doesn’t become a disaster on the big day is to have a work schedule and stick to it. Many dishes can be finished halfway through before being assembled and finished on the big day. Some dishes can even be made 100% in advance and served as is or reheated when the time comes.
