Since you’ve already made the dishes that can be prepared ahead and set the table, it’s time to make the final to-do list for tomorrow.

Ready, set, go.

•Get out serving pieces.

•Fill condiment dishes; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

•Delegate tasks such as pouring drinks and watching the kids.

•Remove turkey from fridge for one to two hours. Add stuffing or place into casserole to bake separately.

•Preheat oven. Add turkey and baste every half hour or according to your recipe.

•Brew coffee 20 minutes before serving.

•Remove stuffing. Let turkey rest, covered, for about 20 minutes before slicing.

•Heat food in microwave if all burners are busy.

•Make gravy and last-minute vegetables.

•Set out refrigerated dishes including condiments.

•Heat bread or rolls.

•Pour drinks.

•Carve turkey.
