Pro Tips for Your Thanksgiving

1

Turkey is 1-1.5 lbs per person (includes bone weight).

2

Appetizers before dinner should be light — 3-4 pieces per person max.

3

Plan 3-4 side dishes total — not 3-4 per person.

4

Dessert is non-negotiable — 1 pie per 6-8 guests.

5

Wine consumption peaks during dinner — have bottles ready at the table.

6

Football watching = beer in the afternoon before dinner.

7

Leftovers are part of Thanksgiving — plan for turkey sandwiches.
