Top Tips for
Making the Most Out of Your Thanksgiving Meal
Try small ways to cut back without
sacrificing the quality of your meal. Some cost-conscious Thanksgiving
ideas include:
- Cook from the Pantry: Select
recipes based on the ingredients already in your pantry, spice
rack or refrigerator and stay away from recipes that call for
fancy spices or specialty items to curb costs.
- Pick Vegetables Wisely: Frozen
and canned vegetables can often be more affordable than fresh
varieties and still offer the same nutritional value. If you
do need to purchase fresh produce, select vegetables that are
in season, such as squash and sweet potatoes, which are often
less expensive.
- Go Potluck This Year: Celebrate
with a big group and encourage guests to bring their favorite
side dishes, drinks or desserts to cut down on costs.
Put a New
Twist on Your Turkey!
Looking for a new way to impress
your Thanksgiving guests? Try the new Butterball® Indoor
Electric Turkey Fryer from Masterbuilt for delicious, tender
and juicy deep fried turkey.
The fryer can cook up to 14 pounds
of turkey in 1/3 the time of a conventional oven and frees up
oven space for other Thanksgiving dishes such as casseroles and
