The Homemade Holidays Thanksgiving Menu

 

Simplicity reigns on Thanksgiving, but the details still count. We hope you’ll find inspiration in the menu we’ve designed, which kicks things off with a light and elegant soup, then moves on to spruced-up standards such as buttermilk and garlic mashed potatoes and gussied-up green beans.

With so many dishes on the docket, the key to success lies in a combination of timing and delegation. The only dishes that must be made the day of are the turkey and gravy, the mashed potatoes, and the green beans. Everything else can easily be prepared a day or two in advance.
