Plan Thanksgiving 2026 (Thursday, November 26) in one spreadsheet. Type your turkey's weight and your dinner time, and the planner works out when to thaw it, when it goes in the oven and what time every other dish needs to start.
What's inside
- Turkey calculator: suggested size from your guest list, days to thaw in the fridge, the date to move it there, and roasting time from the USDA timetable (unstuffed, 325°F).
- Thanksgiving Day timeline: set your dinner time and every task gets a real clock time, from "turkey out of the fridge" to "carve". Edit tasks to match your own recipes.
- Oven & Hob planner: one oven? See when every dish goes in, at what temperature, and get a warning if dishes clash or the oven is overcrowded.
- The countdown: what to buy and prep in the days before, with real dates.
- Menu planner: every dish, its course, who's making it and whether it needs the oven.
- Shopping list: quantities, store, estimated cost against your budget, and tick-off.
- Guest list: RSVPs, adults and kids, dietary needs and who's bringing what.
Works with
Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets (free) and Apple Numbers. Desktop, tablet or phone.
Food safety: always check the turkey reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh, the wing and the breast with a food thermometer.
