If you’re on turkey duty this Thanksgiving, there’s nothing quite like the ease of this Thanksgiving Roasting Kit. It includes 3 leakproof brining bags, cotton cooking twine, a classic bulb baster and a meat thermometer. Add this turkey seasoning brine kit to your cart as well for added ease and flavor!

There are various ways to roast a turkey, but I’ve found that using a roasting rack and pan allows for even heat circulation, resulting in perfectly browned skin and juicy and flavorful meat. The design of this rack minimizes mess and is easy for positioning in and out of the oven!

Now that we have a perfectly roasted Thanksgiving turkey, it’s carving time!! A carving board with a drain channel around the board’s perimeter, is crucial for catching excess juices that emerge when carving a turkey. This is my go-to carving board, however a board with grooves can assist in keeping the meat in place for seamless carving!

Slicing your beautifully roasted turkey can be a daunting task. While I wouldn’t necessarily define electric knives as an essential, they offer a level of ease and precision that I find favorable to traditional carving knives. These help me slice perfectly at any thickness, but this carving knife and fork set is another great option.

If you take one thing away from this blog, please let it be this!! A meat thermometer is CRUCIAL in ensuring your turkey reaches the recommended internal temperature. I use this digital, instant-read thermometer for my turkey, roasts, and steaks and love the ease and accuracy it offers! It truly takes the guessing work out of cooking proteins. I’ve also heard incredible things about the MEATER thermometer. Either of these would be a wonderful gift for anyone that cooks.

As mentioned above, I absolutely love this all-in-one brining kit. It includes a flavorful brining blend, turkey rub, and brining bag. This kit is the key to a fabulous and flavorful Thanksgiving turkey! Simply place your turkey inside the brining bag, pour the brine and refrigerate overnight! Prior to cooking it, add the turkey rub for added flavor!

If you are roasting a turkey, make sure you have food-safe cooking twine! If you want a perfectly cooked bird, you must truss your turkey! This helps the turkey cook evenly, preventing the breast from drying out while the legs finish cooking!

Thanksgiving menus offer a wide variety of side dishes, veggies, and casseroles. This Le Creuset set has the perfect variety for the many side dishes a Thanksgiving meal calls for. A few more options in varying styles and price points here!

There are some side dishes that Thanksgiving dinner doesn’t feel complete without… and in our family, homemade mashed potatoes is one of them! This All-Clad potato masher is designed to thoroughly blend cooked potatoes and added ingredients to create the perfect consistency with no lumps. For a less laborious process, I like using this hand mixer.

My precious grandson Pearson has loved Pumpkin Bread since he was a toddler, hence why it always has a place on our Thanksgiving menu! Though I love making this recipe from scratch (see my go-to recipe HERE), sometimes for the sake of time it’s just easier to use a premade mix. This mix is my favorite alternative, and I love baking it in this Botanical Pumpkin Loaf Pan to bring the beauty of fall into your Thanksgiving dessert!

More often than not I find myself over-estimating how much food is needed and end up with leftovers for days (better safe than sorry, right?). Whether you’re sending guests home with leftovers or keeping them yourself, you need storage containers.! These storage containers are a great option to send home with guests, and these glass containers are my favorite for personal food storage!
