Check Out The Daily Meal's Guide To Thanksgiving

Alright, Thanksgiving! Wait, what?

Yes, your reading this correctly—we are gearing up in preparation for the biggest eating extravaganza of the year quite a bit early, but you can never be too prepared, right? Right!

With The Daily Meal's Guide to Thanksgiving, you'll be in the know about everything from turkey to the day-after turkey sandwich when it comes to hosting, cooking, and serving dinner—whether it's for two, twenty, or sixty people. If you're looking for a traditional roast dinner with all of the classic fixings, we've got you covered. If you're looking to kick things up a notch and try alternative roasts or sides—we're on that, too.

If you're spending Thanksgiving with your new in-laws or at a date's family's house for the first time—you bet we'll be giving you the run down on what to bring and how to handle yourself in front of crazy Uncle Sal.

All in all, we've got your back when it comes to Thanksgiving.

From our in-depth course by course, dish by dish guide on what to cook and how to cook it well to our section on serving up cocktails, mocktails, and wine that pair best with your dishes—this guide will keep you organize and prepped for November.
