Hosting tips
- Test new gear before Thursday. Season the skillet, run the slow cooker once, and check the thermometer’s battery.
- Plan oven space. A slow cooker or warming mat frees the oven for the turkey.
- Pull the turkey on temperature, not time. An instant-read thermometer takes the guessing out of it.
