[quote=Anonymous]Here’s what we are doing

..buying a precooked Turkey from a local small grocery chain that makes really good food. DH’s grandmother got one for Christmas a few years ago and we’ve never gone back. We’re not in DC the store name won’t help. We buy the gravy too.

..you can actually make mashed potatoes ahead of time, put them in a zip lock gallon bag or bags. You can heat them back up by putting the bags in a pot of simmering water.

…for veggie side dishes, we actually grill them. I prepare and season them or glaze etc, put in large ziplocks. With 20 people someone will be happy to escape the nonsense chatter and grill them. One popular dish is grilled carrots and sweet potatoes in a honey glaze. Cube and half cook the sweet potatoes the night before, peel the carrots, put in a ziplock with honey glaze and grill the next day.

..buy your pies from a good bakery.

..pre stage your salad. Make your dressing, chop the toppings and put in a zip lock. All you have to do at the end is wash the greens and combine, a job you can give to a kid.[/quote]
