Put the cookbooks away

If you're following recipes this Thanksgiving, print them out and tape them to your cabinets to save counter space.

2

Don't waste time washing and peeling potatoes

Use a dishwasher to wash your potatoes and peel them with your hands when they come out soft and clean.

3

A little baking powder for fluffier mashed potatoes

One small ingredient makes all the difference!

4

Cook your turkey in a slow cooker

Your oven is going to be very busy. Save space and time by using other appliances in your kitchen to get the job done.

5

Use the microwave

You can make cranberry sauce, creamy casseroles and even dessert all in the microwave!

6

Get rid of your lumpy gravy with a food processor

Simple as that!

7

Keep your gravy warm with a thermos

8

Make your pie dough way in advance and freeze it

This will save you a lot of prep and cleaning time!

9

Crimp pie with corkscrew

If you have a spare corkscrew that you don't mind getting a big dirty, use it to crimp your pie that will look like it's straight from the bakery!

10

Make a no-bake dessert

Save yourself some oven time by making some delicious non-bake treats!

11

No Cheesecloth? Use bacon!

Usually a cheesecloth is soaked in butter to keep the turkey breast moist. Instead, weave a bacon lattice and lay it on the turkey as it roasts.

12

Use chicken broth to save a dried out turkey

Succulent and delicious!

13

Chop your veggies ahead of time.

Because every minute counts!
