You can never have too much gravy on Thanksgiving, so why not tackle this essential now? Don't worry about the drippings; you can always add turkey drippings to the gravy at the last minute for authentic flavor.

If your turkey is frozen, it's time to start thinking about thawing it. A completely frozen turkey needs a day to thaw for every four pounds in weight. And if you plan to brine your turkey, it needs to be defrosted one day sooner.

Cranberry sauce is another thing that can be made completely ahead of time. Since it contains a lot of sugar, it's essentially a quick jam that can be frozen or kept in the refrigerator for a while. They'll be no change inconsistency by making it ahead, and the taste actually benefits from letting the flavors mix and mingle. If frozen, just thaw it in the fridge overnight.
