Meal Plan Notes:

Pie: crust can be made 3 days before thanksgiving and kept covered in the refrigerator. You can make the pie filling 2 days before and kept seperate in a lidded container in the refrigerator. The pie can be assembled and baked 1 day before. If baking two pies it will take twice as long in the oven. Cover the crust with strips of foil to prevent burning.

Sweet Potato: can be made 1-2 days early. Keep the crumble topping seperate.

Gravy: can be made 1-2 days ahead.

Cranberry: can be made 1-2 days ahead. It’s served cold anyhow.

Lentil Loaf: lentils can be made 3 days early. Loaf can be assembled and not baked 1 day early. Baked on the day. Loaf takes longer to bake than the recipe says. And twice as long when baking two.

On the day: assemble all the dishes in oven safe casseroles so you can stick them all in the oven to be reheated for 10-15 minutes on 375°F. Or reheated on stove. Enjoy!
