[quote=Anonymous]Note: I do Thanksgiving this way because I enjoy it and hardly ever have a chance to go this nuts with cooking the rest of the year. So my system works for me, but I'm not going to say there aren't a ton of shortcuts that would be possible!

Menu for 16 (half vegetarians) :  
Consomme 
Brined Turkey with Stuffing and Gravy 
Green Beans
Sweet Potatoes
Roasted Vegetables
Biscuits
3 pies

Saturday/Sunday - All shopping complete except turkey
Monday - Chop vegetables for turkey stock, vegetable stock, stuffing, cosomme. Place vegetables in labeled gallon bags in fridge. Pull out all serving dishes, serving utensils, baking dishes - total 4-6 man hours
Tuesday - Prepare three pie doughs, vegetable and turkey stock, pick up fresh turkey - total 4 man hours of work, 4 hours duration (stock has lots of time to boil)
Wednesday - Complete chocolate pie, consomme, brine turkey, prepare stuffing, set table - total 4 mans hours of work
Thursday - Roast vegetables, sweet potatoes, turkey. Make green beans and biscuits and complete other two (fruit) pies. I have this scheduled down to the hour to avoid oven conflicts! Lots of time while things are roasting for clean up, preparing garnishes, etc.....[/quote]
