Our Menu Maker is super simple to use. Recipes are divided among courses: Starters, Main Dishes, Sides, and Dessert. Recipe selection screens allow you to quickly see what’s available within each course. There are turkeys (perhaps obviously) and a dozen delicious ways to cook them—iconic whole roasted birds slathered with herb-butter, pancetta-wrapped turkey breast for a smaller crowd, and even a smoked turkey on the grill. There are also hearty vegetarian entrees featuring fall flavors to insure that everyone feels welcome at the table.

You will also find lots of sensational side dishes, including fragrant stuffings (or dressings, if you prefer), colorful cranberry sauces, and potatoes of all kinds: mashed, smashed, baked, and more. Plus green beans, turnips, and what may be the best Brussels sprouts ever. And because it’s not Thanksgiving without pie, we’ve got ‘em all: apple, pecan, and pumpkin, plus tarts, cakes, and crisps, too.

(Because all of the recipes are contained within the app, you can access the recipes without internet access, a bonus for anyone planning to get away from it all this holiday.)

Once you have created your menu, tap on the Shopping List for a handy list of every ingredient you’ll need. Shop with your iPad in the cart and check off items on the screen as you go. Or email the list to yourself and print it to make your notes or additions on paper.

When you are ready to start cooking, simply tap Schedule to see a list of what needs to be done for your Thanksgiving dinner. Check this page well before the big day to see what you can do ahead of time—a huge help for planning the meal.

In addition to all of the delicious recipes, the shopping list, and the schedule, you will also get BONUS CONTENT on Finecooking.com with all the tips, techniques, and advice you need to make this holiday meal the best ever.
