    Paprika Recipe Manager for iPhone - Get your recipes organized!

    by Hindsight Labs LLC

    The first thing you'll need when you're planning your Thanksgiving day meal is a good recipe manager. Paprika is an elegant, if pricey, system for managing all of your recipes. Find some recipes you like on the web? Clip them into your Paprika Mac App. Then open up your Paprika for iPhone app or the one for your iPad, and find the recipes waiting for you, along with a complete shopping list you can bring to the store. People who take their technology and their cooking very seriously will want a system like this.

    Thanksgiving Menu Maker from Fine Cooking

    by Taunton Interactive

    If Paprika is really more than you need, or you only have an iPad, check out Thanksgiving Menu Maker. This amazing free app provides you with dozens of creative and mouth-watering Thanksgiving recipes. Choose the ones you like, and the app not only provides you with a shopping list for ALL the recipes you picked, but also a detailed to-do list, organized chronologically! This is an incredible help if you're feeling overwhelmed at all the little tasks that go into creating a big many-dish meal like this. iPad owners, you MUST check this one out. The obvious flaw with this one is that since it's iPad only, you'll either need to bring the iPad to the store (if you want to be able to check off ingredients as you go) or email yourself the shopping list.

    Chow Thanksgiving Dinner Coach

    by CBS Interactive

    Similar to Thanksgiving Menu Maker, only CHOW is for the iPhone. Unlike the previous app's dazzling display of culinary creations, CHOW only has nine basic recipes from which to choose (enough to create a traditional turkey feast with all the trimmings), but it really helps you get organized. From creating a shopping list for you to day-by-day and hour-by-hour instructions, this app will help you get it all together in time for the big feast.

    Evernote

    by Evernote

    I can't stop writing about Evernote because it has so darn many uses! For this context, call it a "poor man's Paprika". It certainly doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but it's free and you can use it on any computer, any smartphone, and any iDevice. Find the recipes you like and clip them into Evernote. It's easy to organize them using their tags and notebooks system. Bring your smartphone to the grocery store. No, Evernote doesn't create automatic check-off grocery lists for you, but you can either just shop off the recipes or create grocery lists yourself (yes, even with working check boxes) within the app.

    Epicurious Recipes & Shopping List

    by Condé Nast Digital

    Anytime I talk cooking apps, I always have to mention Epicurious. It's got a permanent spot on both of my own iDevices. It's free, it's universal, and it contains tons and tons of recipes. The sections change with the seasons; at the moment, there are over a dozen sections just devoted to Thanksgiving. It's loaded with information for first-time turkey roasters and seasoned chefs alike. Tap the "+" on each recipe to create an instant shopping list. I can't say enough about this one — just get it.

    How to Cook Everything

    by Culinate, Inc.

    If you're really a beginner, you may want this detailed universal app to help you create that perfect Thanksgiving meal just like your folks'. It's a bit pricey, but you can also find an iPhone-only version for half the price. If you need that step-by-step process laid out, a regular recipe app isn't going to cut it. This one will. It actually reminds me of the "Joy of Cooking" recipe book/bible I was given as a wedding gift — a standard gift for new wives back in the olden days!
