**Kenji's entire Food Lab Thanksgiving Special series has been great.  If you are looking for basic recipes, this is a good place to start.

Harold McGee - Ten Thanksgiving Tips [SeriousEats.com]

Jules Clancy - Do you make the most common thanksgiving mistake? + how to avoid it [thestonesoup.com via CasualKitchen]
*I always make this mistake.  Read on to find out what it is...

Lisa Abraham - Carve up tasks wisely this holiday [ohio.com]
