Want a moist and flavorful bird with plenty of well-seasoned drippings. (That way we could use them to make the best gravy!) The key is to use traditional Thanksgiving herbs (think parsley, sage, rosemary, bay and thyme) and classic aromatics like onion and garlic. For richness, we basted with butter which also makes the most golden-brown and crispy skin. Leaving the bird untrussed allows the air to circulate for more even cooking.
8-10# turkey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium onion, quartered
1 head garlic, halved
Several sprigs fresh herbs, such as; thyme, parsley, rosemary, and sage
2 bay leaves
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted

Getting ahead on your Thanksgiving shopping packs plenty of benefits — shorter lines, first dibs on essential ingredients, plus more time to spend with family and friends. It also requires a bit of planning. If you’re buying salad greens days ahead, will they be springy and crisp in time for your feast? And what about the bacon for your Brussels sprouts — or the heavy cream for your mashed potatoes?
For most foods, it’s perfectly fine to stock up several days ahead as long as they are stored properly. Some ingredients, however, are best saved until the last minute. Use this guide to plan your shopping so your haul stays its best from our stores to your table.
Build your Thanksgiving shopping list around what ingredients will last, bearing in mind that you may need to freeze the ones that won’t (like sausage). If stored and thawed correctly, frozen meats, vegetables and fruits can be just as tasty their fresh counterparts.
