Avoid these Thanksgiving dinner preparation mistakes Here are some tips on how to avoid mistakes when hosting a Thanksgiving Day dinner celebration. 1. Leaving meal preparation for Thanksgiving Day. A traditional Thanksgiving Day dinner includes staple favorite dishes that require lengthy prep and cooking times. A common mistake is to underestimate time needed for frozen turkey defrosting. Depending on its size, a frozen turkey may require two days to defrost before it is ready for cooking. Consider preparing side dishes the day before Thanksgiving, or at minimum, preparing ingredi- ents (i.e. chopping vegetables) in advance. 2. A disorganized kitchen. Overstuffed pantries, cabi- nets and refrigerators compli- cate meal preparation and post- dinner leftovers storage. Set aside one to two hours to clean out your refrigerator, freezer and cabinetry. Toss out expired items. Reorganize to maximize space. Take an inventory of your pots, pans and other cookware to ensure that you have enough. 3. One-person cooking. Don’t be shy about asking guests to bring side dishes and desserts. Most people are happy to contribute to the feast; they may even feel more welcome if they are asked to bring a dish. 4. Chaotic clean-up. Don’t do all the clean-up work yourself. Delegate people to load the dishwasher, wrap leftovers, take out the trash, etc. If everyone knows what they’re supposed to do, you’ll enjoy a far more efficient clean-up process. —Metro YES, I Am R etirin g REALL Y!
