Thanksgiving Planning Kit

What's inside. Everything a Thanksgiving host needs on paper. The countdown runs from three or four weeks out to the day itself. The guest page records RSVPs, dietary needs and allergies and who is bringing what; the menu planner lists each course with who makes it, whether it can be made ahead and what oven or hob space it needs. The turkey planner gives the size to buy for 8 to 18 guests, how many days to thaw it in the fridge and the roasting time, plus the USDA roasting chart for unstuffed and stuffed birds at 325 °F and the 165 °F doneness temperature; its rows are checked against hand-worked figures on every build. A worked example times a 4 pm dinner with a 14 lb turkey before you write your own timeline. A shopping list by store section, a make-ahead plan with oven and fridge space, and a leftovers page with USDA storage times and a labelled log complete the kit.
