A few weeks ago, my sister-in-law asked me if I really needed to keep such a huge pile of sheet pans—I’m in the process of purging for a move in the near future—and after a few seconds of contemplation, I replied: heck yeah. I use my sheet pans baking, roasting, and cooking just about everything, including Thanksgiving dinner.
You really don’t need to dirty every pot and pan you own to make a great Thanksgiving meal—not when you have great sheet-pan recipes like the 10 below, which take full advantage of the pan’s versatility. You can roast a butterflied whole turkey with vegetables, bake biscuits, or even make an apple pie—all on a sheet pan.
