Need help with Thanksgiving?

From buying the turkey to rolling out the pie crust, there’s no meal that makes cooks more nervous.

If you have trouble with a smooth gravy, queries about fresh versus frozen birds, or just want to know how to make a pumpkin pie that won’t go all weepy on you, now’s your chance to ask.
