In addition to thankfulness, family, and friends, Thanksgiving is usually filled with ample food. Like, lots and lots of food. Like, so much food that people have to undo the top button of their pants and take a little turkey nap before dessert. 

However, all that food usually comes at a huge cost of time. Someone took the time to thaw, brine, season, and cook that turkey. Not to mention the numerous sides like mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, rolls, and a whole lot more. So, if you don't want to spend all day working up a sweat in the kitchen, why not let someone else do the cooking for you?
