[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't cut out an orange vegetable - how about buying glazed sweet potatoes instead of the green bean casserole and then just reheat while the turkey is resting?

Agree with PP that you can make the dressing the day before and then reheat while the turkey is resting. Also agree with PP's ideas about adding celery, onion and possibly sausage. Take dressing out of the refrigerator about an hour ahead of time so it loses its chill and reheats more quickly and follow what PP outlines. Agree with PP that you can make pies ahead of time and store in refrigerator.

Set your table and get all glassware and serving dishes ready to use the night before.

You can mash your potatoes a few hours ahead of eating. Put your mixing bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water for up to two hours. (place a piece of tin foil loosely over the top of the mixing bowl).  Then, when it's time to serve just whip with a folk and a little warm milk to make them really fluffy again.

Happy Thanksgiving.[/quote]
