Split your grocery shopping trips so that it doesn't feel overwhelming.
Ensure you have all the utensils, tools and dishes needed.
Do all of your chopping a couple days before. Label and store your veggies in the fridge.
Use recipes that can be made ahead days before and heated the day of, or mix in recipes that don't require an oven.
Use your slow cooker to keep dishes warm.
Thaw your turkey in your cooler to save fridge space.
Hosting thanksgiving dinner is no easy feat. So if you're visiting a friend's house for thanksgiving this year, bring a small gift that helps the host with dinner or is something special for him/her. Wine and cheese, a fruit basket, a bouquet of flowers or a pre-made dessert would be greatly appreciated!
