When is Thanksgiving?
US Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November, so the date moves between 22 and 28 November each year. The countdown always points at the next one and shows days, hours, minutes and seconds until it begins in your time zone.
Plan backwards from the big day: a frozen turkey needs about one day in the fridge for every 4 to 5 pounds to thaw.
Timers for the day itself
On the day, use the kitchen timer to run the turkey, sides and pie at the same time, each with its own name and alarm.
