Turkey Day Tricks & Triumphs

Jared Krinsky

Turkey Day is a time to express gratitude, enjoy the company of loved ones, and indulge in a delicious feast. However, the preparation that goes into hosting this special occasion can sometimes be overwhelming. Fear not! We've compiled a list of Turkey Day hacks to streamline your preparations, allowing you to savor the moments that matter most!


  1. Brine for Juicy Turkey: Ensure a moist and flavorful turkey by brining it overnight. Create a simple brine with water, salt, sugar, and aromatics like herbs and citrus. This hack not only infuses the turkey with delicious flavors but also keeps it succulent during the roasting process.

  2. Slow Cooker Side Dishes: Free up valuable oven space by utilizing your slow cooker for side dishes. From mashed potatoes to stuffing, these trusty devices can effortlessly handle some of the heavy lifting, leaving your oven available for the star of the show – the turkey.

  3. Prep Ahead with Make-Ahead Gravy: Avoid the last-minute scramble by preparing your gravy in advance. Make a rich and flavorful gravy a day or two before Thanksgiving and simply reheat it when it's time to serve. This hack not only saves time but also guarantees a smooth and luscious accompaniment to your meal.

  4. DIY Decor with Nature's Bounty: Decorate your Thanksgiving table without breaking the bank by incorporating nature's bounty. Use colorful autumn leaves, small pumpkins, and gourds as simple yet elegant table centerpieces. This not only adds a touch of rustic charm but also reduces the need for expensive floral arrangements.

  5. Easy-Peel Garlic: Simplify the process of peeling garlic for your savory dishes. Place a whole garlic bulb in the microwave for about 10 seconds, and the cloves will easily separate from the peel. This quick hack saves you time and sticky fingers.

  6. Disposable Roasting Pan Liner: Make post-feast cleanup a breeze by lining your roasting pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil before cooking the turkey. This hack not only simplifies the cleaning process but also ensures an easy transfer of the turkey to the serving platter

  7. Thanksgiving Leftover Jars: Get creative with Thanksgiving leftovers by layering them in mason jars. Start with mashed potatoes, add a layer of turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. Seal the jar and refrigerate. These ready-to-go meals are not only convenient but also a fun way to enjoy the flavors of Thanksgiving in a new way.
