Questions cooks actually ask
What can I make the day before?
Most pies, cranberry sauce, and many casseroles. The schedule marks each dish with its make ahead window.
How long should the turkey rest?
30 to 45 minutes loosely tented. It finishes carryover cooking and carves clean instead of shredding.
