Time Saving Thanksgiving Tips
Cooking a Thanksgiving meal can be stressful – but it doesn’t need to be!With plenty of preparation, you can save tons of time on turkey day by preparing dishes ahead of time, using ingredients with tons of fresh flavors – like The Spice Hunter’s Global Fusion Rubs – to cut down on prep work without sacrificing flavor!
Find Recipes That Don’t Rely on an Oven
Ovens get packed on Thanksgiving – making shuffling things in and out of the oven hectic, especially when you’re trying to stick to timing your meal perfectly.
By picking recipes you can make outside of the oven, you can save a ton of time and hassle on the big day.
Recipes that can be made in an Instant Pot or Slow Cooker (like these Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes or Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes) take the work out of timing recipes in the oven or on the stove.
Use Turkey Breast For Smaller Groups
If you’re not making a Thanksgiving dinner for a big group, there is no need to wait on a giant bird to cook.
Use a turkey breast – like this Slow Cooker Turkey in Gravy Recipe, or this Instant Pot Turkey Breast Recipe, to speed your bird along!
Brine Turkey Ahead of Time
The easiest way to make perfect, juicy, never-dry turkey is to brine for at least one day before cooking – it might seem like an extra step, but it eliminates the need to baste your turkey while cooking, saving you tons of time on the big day!
Turkey brine makes cooking a turkey simple, and helps to save you work by locking moisture into your turkey from the minute you begin to prepare for Thanksgiving – so you have less fussing to worry about on the big day!
Turkey brining might seem complicated – but The Spice Hunter makes it so easy – just add their turkey brine blend to water and boil, cool, and add turkey to brine (you can even use the easy brining bag included in the turkey brine bag provided) and then refrigerate until ready to cook!
I personally love to use The Spice Hunter’s Lemon, Garlic & Herb Turkey Brine to go along with this Easy Greek Stuffing recipe – it brings a subtle lemon and herb flavor to your turkey!

How To Make Easy Stuffing
Stuffing is one of the most loved Thanksgiving side dishes around – and for great reason!
It is soft and springy, a little crunchy, full of flavors – and soaks up delicious gravy.
Stuffing can easily get gummy or too chewy when overworked, and can become dry and crunchy if overcooked – so these tips will help to ensure perfect stuffing.
How To Dry Bread For Stuffing
Starting your stuffing with a dry, crunchy bread is crucial to get the right texture for stuffing – without a gummy, soggy mess.
If you plan ahead, simply leave your bread out to let it dry on the counter for a day or two before Thanksgiving.
If you forget to help your bread dry out – no worries!
Simply spread bread that has been torn or cut into small squares out on baking sheets and dry the bread in a 300-degree oven for 30 to 60 minutes.
Other Thanksgiving Ideas
If you love this easy stuffing recipe – and want to give it a kick with different global inspired seasoning blends, I’m outlining a few of my favorite ideas below:
-Make a spicy, sweet stuffing by using The Spice Hunter’s Mango Habanero Rub – include shishito peppers, bell peppers, or diced mango to infuse even more flavor into your stuffing!
-Use The Spice Hunter’s Spicy Garlic Rub with zucchini, eggplant, and other fresh sauteed vegetables for an Italian-inspired stuffing that will knock your socks off!
-Kick up your stuffing with The Spice Hunter’s Green Hatch Chile Rub and add chorizo, mushrooms, and peppers for a spicy southwestern style stuffing.
