I need your help! I’m hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year, and I’ve only cooked Thanksgiving dinner a handful of times in my entire life. When we lived in New York, we always visited my family for Christmas and not Thanksgiving, and my Korean family didn’t really celebrate Thanksgiving growing up. But we’re all together this year, and family time is especially important after the pandemic kept us all apart for so long.

This is what I have on my menu so far based on what my family likes:

  • turkey
  • stuffing
  • mashed potatoes
  • gravy
  • cranberry sauce
  • cornbread
  • corn
  • bacon wrapped asparagus
  • pumpkin pie with vanilla ice cream
  • one more side (green beans, squash, mushrooms, or sweet potato)

Please share your tried and true tips for cooking a moist turkey, as well as recipes for your favorite side dishes! But I will not be cooking cranberry sauce or the pumpkin pie.
