The day before Thanksgiving is the perfect time to make side dishes for your Thanksgiving meal.
These side dishes can be made the day before, so you have time to let them sit in the fridge overnight.
The flavors will get better and more complex as they sit, making them even more delicious when it’s time to serve them up at your big feast on Turkey Day.
Use these tips to get your family in the kitchen before you even sit down for dinner.
- Make mashed potatoes ahead of time and store in your refrigerator until ready to use.
- Make stuffing ahead of time and store in your refrigerator until ready to use, then bake it right before serving with turkey or roast chicken.
- Make roasted vegetables such as carrots and sweet potatoes ahead of time and store separately from the turkey in the refrigerator until ready to serve alongside the turkey or roast chicken, or just on their own as sides!
- Make gravy ahead of time and store in your refrigerator until ready to use, then heat at serving time with turkey or roast chicken so everyone can enjoy a rich gravy with their meal!
These recipes are perfect for serving with any kind of main dish.
