We can't think of a more beautiful way to present the crown jewel of the Thanksgiving feast than on this gorgeous platter. The colors capture the essence of harvest season, and we would love to have this gracing our tables this year.

A roaster may be a Thanksgiving essential, but they don't have to cost an arm and a leg. We love this beautiful red version from the Rachael Ray collection at Target.

Using a brine can be a great way to add flavor to your bird. We love this mix, which has all of the ingredients you need to take the guesswork out of brining.

This is how you store kitchen twine in style. The acorn shape captures all the best of autumn, and we would have to keep it on our counters year-round. We just love how the smooth finish of the alder wood turns this functional kitchen item into a work of art.

We definitely belong to the "turkey basting" camp. After all, who wants dry turkey? This fabulous baster serves two purposes, basting and injecting flavor, for the perfect turkey every time.

Just say no to stuffing — your oven, that is. We love the idea of freeing up much-needed oven space by using this stainless steel, electric countertop roaster to cook your turkey.

Turkey? Good. Fried? Good. Fried Turkey? Yes, please! You won't need to worry about a crispy coating when you use this 3-in-1 turkey fryer. We have it on good authority that men love fried turkey.

Taking its temperature may not be the most glamorous part of cooking the bird, but it's definitely the most important. So why not take it in style? We love this sleek digital meat thermometer for taking the guesswork out of getting the meat just right.

You can pull your turkey out of the oven or fryer in style with these gorgeous cotton pot holders. We think they would be perfect for the entire holiday season.

For an alternative to heaving that turkey out of the roaster, how about using this Sili Sling Lifter? We love that you can actually roast the turkey directly on it and then easily lift it out of the pan. Sounds a lot less messy to us!

We love the dual purpose of this acacia wood carving board. One side is smooth for everyday cutting, but the opposite surface has deep grooves for collecting the liquids from your roasted turkey, preventing messy counters.

It's rated one of the best by Good Housekeeping and that makes it a winner in our book! If you like to carve up your turkey before it hits the dinner table, we think this electric carving knife will get you the perfect slices every time.

You won't have any more trouble convincing the man in your life to carve the turkey with this Guy Fieri carving set. He can slice up that turkey like a rock star chef.

| No one wants a greasy gravy. We think the heat-resistant OXO fat separator is the perfect tool for straining off the fat for perfect gravy every time. |

Don't leave your side dishes out of the turkey talk! Mound up your stuffing and mashed potatoes in these domed, covered serving dishes. They're pretty enough to pass around the table.

newmouse I can vouch for that Cuisinart electric knife. It's not as attractive as the Guy Fieri carving set, but it gets the job done with minimal strain on the carver.

Kim Nichols Congrats, girls. You just reminded me that I need a new fat separator. I broke the last one. Saw those cute turkey containers at World Market today. I could also use a new electric knife since the old one died.

At The Picket Fence Thanks everyone for the sweet comments. @newmouse, we love a good electric knife as well, it's nice to know that the Cuisinart we featured lives up to it's reputation. @Kim, aren't those turkey containers adorable! I so wish I had a World Market by me. That fat separator is a great one!
