Thanksgiving is two weeks away… have you finalized your plans? If you are hosting the big meal, planning is important. How many guests will you have? What’s on the menu? Who’s bringing what?
As the host, you will probably handle the turkey. For 10 people, you will need a bird around 16 pounds, a little bigger if you want leftovers.
Don’t feel like you need to handle all of the cooking. Invite your guest to show off their talents as well by bringing sides or even desert.
If you are uncomfortable asking for help with the food, Corey Gustifik from the Butterball Help Line says asking for help that day is fine.
Help with things throughout the day.
To be ready for dinner, plan your meal, shop for the things you need, and make sure you are prepared to cook the bird. Gustifik says the most important tool for the day is a good meat thermometer.
