FREE PRINTABLE GUIDE · 26 RECIPES + A MAKE-AHEAD PLAN
Thanksgiving is one day, but the cooking can start a week before. That’s the secret to a calm holiday: most of the menu is made ahead, so on the day you only roast the turkey and finish the sides.
Inside the guide:
- A make-ahead plan, from 1–2 weeks before to the day after
- A smoked turkey, plus pork chops for a smaller table and a meatless lentil chili
- Sides: potatoes, Brussels sprouts, casseroles, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pull-apart bread
- A Bulgarian-style pickle board, made days ahead
- Pumpkin desserts, most of them low-carb and sugar-free
