Write the final menu on anything from a Post-it note to an Excel spreadsheet. Think of this as the four corners to the holiday dinner puzzle.<br> <br> Next, put together all the background pieces of the puzzle a/k/a the Thanksgiving Feast. Gather together any common ingredients that must be used for recipes. For example, if you need diced celery for the dressing and the apple salad, do that a few days prior to the holiday and place the proper amount for each recipe in separate zip lock bags. Look for any side dishes on the menu that can be prepared ahead of time such as the <a rel="NOFOLLOW" href="http://www.diaryofaroadmom.com/grams-deviled-eggs/">deviled eggs</a> or sweet potato pudding. Insert Instant Pot Thanksgiving shortcut here:  Pressure cook eggs for 5 minutes, quick release and a cold water bath equals perfect hard-boiled eggs. Likewise, dishes such as <a rel="NOFOLLOW" href="https://www.campbells.com/kitchen/recipes/classic-green-bean-casserole/">green bean casserole</a> can be prepared in advance, baked until almost done, and finished (the last 15 minutes) right before dinner is served. Prepare desserts such as <a rel="NOFOLLOW" href="https://thisoldgal.com/pressure-cooker-bourbon-pumpkin-pie-cheesecake-pake/">pies</a> and <a rel="NOFOLLOW" href="http://www.diaryofaroadmom.com/grams-chocolate-sheet-cake/">cakes</a> in the days ahead of the meal.<br> <br> The star of the Thanksgiving table is usually a roasted turkey. Think of this as the final centerpiece to the puzzle of the big picture.  <a rel="NOFOLLOW" href="https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/moist-and-tender-turkey-breast/">Instant Pot turkey</a> will come out moist and delicious. The best part? Pressure cook the turkey in the early morning hours of the holiday before the day is hectic. <a rel="NOFOLLOW" href="https://www.simplyhappyfoodie.com/instant-pot-bone-ham/">Holiday ham</a> Instant Pot style is another win for the main event to the table.<br>
