Garten recently told The New York Times that she is "completely tired of cooking." So when the publication asked her to create a classic Thanksgiving feast that showcased store-bought ingredients, she was happy to help home cooks who might be equally exhausted.
For the challenge, Garten took some of her most popular Thanksgiving recipes and figured out how to replicate them using products you could buy at the supermarket.
"My goal was that you didn't know that store-bought thing was in there," Garten told the Times. "I want to make store-bought taste homemade."
"For Thanksgiving, all bets are off," she added. "Whatever you need to do to get Thanksgiving dinner on the table is OK."
