Thanksgiving Dinner Planner v2 | Host Countdown, Turkey Thaw Chart & Oven Schedule

Hosting Thanksgiving for the first time?

Hosting Thanksgiving and scared the turkey won't thaw, the oven will jam and dinner lands cold? This 14-page planner counts you down from 3 weeks out, tells you the exact day to start thawing your turkey, and maps every dish to an oven or burner slot so everything hits the table hot.

What's inside:

• 3-Week Host Countdown + a Final 7 Days page (Fri Nov 20 to Thanksgiving)
• Turkey size & thaw chart with start-thaw dates (USDA guidance: about 24 hrs per 4-5 lb in the fridge)
• Oven & stovetop schedule grid: 1 oven, 4 burners, 8 AM to 4:30 PM
• Day-of cooking timeline (dinner at 4 sample + your own times)
• Guest list, menu planner, who-brings-what (with copy-and-send text), shopping list by aisle
• Make-ahead plan, seating + serving dishes, budget, leftovers + next-year notes

14-page PDF + a low-ink print-friendly copy. US Letter. Turkey thaw and doneness guidance follows USDA FSIS 'Let's Talk Turkey'. Instant download, nothing ships.
