TEX AS

to put it out
of sight!”

HOLIDAY
KNOW-HOW
HOSTING THIS YEAR?
FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE
TIPS TO MAKE YOUR
TURKEY DAY STRESS-FREE.

ASK FOR HELP
Don’t feel the need to make the
whole huge feast on your own. Ask
guests to bring a favorite side dish or
dessert. They’ll be happy to help!
SHOP EARLY
Try to pick up all the ingredients
(and don’t forget to check your
spice rack) at least five days prior
to Thanksgiving. The busiest day
to shop? The Tuesday before.
DOUBLE UP
Rather than buying one huge turkey,
try two smaller birds. They’ll thaw
more quickly and cook more evenly.
ALLOW TIME TO THAW
Let the turkey thaw one day
for every 4 pounds.
CLEAN YOUR COOKWARE
Give less frequently used pieces
like roasting pans and fancy serving
platters a quick clean a couple of days
before Thanksgiving so they’re
sparkling and ready to go the day of.
