It’s officially November which means Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away. Making such a large meal for the fam can take some prep work — so we gathered up everything you need to get cooking like a pro!

Even if you’re not the one cooking this holiday season, these kitchen must-haves are sure to be a big help to the chef in your family.

You can keep things simple in the kitchen thanks to the Urban Accents Gourmet Gobbler Turkey Brine Kit.

Don’t stress about how you’ll be seasoning your turkey because this kit comes with everything you need to make the juiciest and tastiest bird ever.
