Q. We planned for 2 but have 8 coming. Any ideas for last-minute dishes?
Don't worry about preparing every dish from scratch–select a couple of recipes you'd like to make, then fill in the menu with some store-bought items such as cakes, pies, bread and frozen vegetable casseroles. If you don't have time to thaw a whole turkey, consider serving turkey breast or turkey tenderloins.

Next: Q. What temperature does the turkey need to hit to be safe? >
