Open Umay
Plan the whole meal from one page: deviled eggs and a soup to start, the turkey, the classic sides, and two pies to finish. Every dish links to its full recipe.
Set your guest count and the shopping list adds up every ingredient across the menu, so you shop once instead of recipe by recipe. Pies and cranberry sauce keep well, so make them the day before and leave the oven to the turkey on Thursday.
