We've rounded up 15 of the little things under $15 that you will help you pull off successful Thanksgiving feast. Many of these kitchen "staples" you only use one a year. Did you forget that your potato peeler was too dull to make a dent last year? Run out of aluminum foil every year? Don't worry, Amazon's got you.
Butcher's Twine
Roast your turkey like a pro (and avoid drying it out) by trussing your bird with twine.
Turkey Baster
You only need a turkey baster once a year, but it's worth picking one up to make sure you're keeping your main course nice and juicy.
Meat Thermometer
Get precise measurements with a meat thermometer for a perfect cook on your bird.
Kitchen Timer
Sure, you could set a bunch of alarms on your phone, but it's much easier to clean cranberry sauce off a plastic timer than your fancy new iPhone X.
Aluminum Foil
Even if you think you have enough, you really don't.
Potato Peeler
Step one: peel the potatoes.
Potato Masher
Step two: mash the potatoes.
Butter Dish
Step three: put a whole bunch of butter in there.
Pie Server
You don't want your pie falling apart on its way to your plate.
Wine Opener
You're definitely gonna need some wine when your guests start to arrive.
Fall Garland
Don't forget about decorations. Make your space festive with some light-up leaves.
Paper Towels
There will definitely be some spills, especially if you get into that wine early. Make sure you're fully equipped to clean up.
Rubbermaid Containers
Send your guests home with leftovers, just don't expect to get these containers back.
Dish Brushes
Make cleanup as painless as possible with new specialized dish brushes.
Party Games
After everyone's sufficiently full and tipsy, it's time to break out the party games. Werewolf is one of our favorites.
