Heat Liquid Before Adding to Roux
When making your gravy with roux, always heat the stock, broth, milk or cream you are using before adding it to the hot roux. This prevents the clumping that can easily occur when making gravy.

Save Bread Scraps for Holiday Dressing
If you make dressing for Thanksgiving, now is the time to start saving your good bread. Any pieces of leftover french bread, biscuit or cornbread, rolls, no matter how small, just put in a big zip lock bag.

Prepare Food in Advance for Holiday Meals
Prepare things in advance. For instance, I always prepare holiday desserts a day or two ahead of time. I peel and cut my potatoes the night before the big day and then place them in a pot of water and store it overnight in the fridge.

Serve Corn on the Cob at Thanksgiving
This is not really a recipe but a suggestion. I have for several years now served the small ears of corn you find in the freezer section. You can heat them at the last minute so they can be served hot.

Use Rubber Gloves To Pick Up Hot Turkey
To take the hot turkey from the pan, use a new pair of rubber gloves. For the amount of time you will be holding the turkey, the heat does not go through and you have a tight hold on the turkey so you won't drop it or it won't fall apart before it gets to the cutting board.

Prepare Mashed Potatoes The Day Before
When having guests for dinner, be it a holiday or not, we always peel, cook and mash the potatoes the day before the dinner. We put them in either a microwave or oven safe dish, cover and refrigerate.

Thawing Your Turkey
If you are space limited in your frig to thaw out the turkey ahead of time, use a cooler. Make sure the cooler is sterilized, fill with cold water, and pop (plop) the frozen turkey into the water. Store in your cool garage or another cooler location, and it will be out of the way, and ready to go on Turkey day!
