Thanksgiving potluck signup sheet

Turkey's covered — claim a side, pie, or the cranberry sauce.

The host makes the turkey; the sheet handles everything else. Thanksgiving potlucks have a fixed canon — stuffing, potatoes, cranberry, pie — so listing the canon as slots means no dish gets duplicated and none gets forgotten.

How to run it well

  • Cranberry sauce gets exactly one slot. Everyone thinks no one else will bring it; two people always do.
  • Ask for pies by kind in the comments — three pumpkin and no apple is a preventable tragedy.
  • Note oven availability in the description; dishes that arrive ready-to-serve save the day.
  • Add a "leftover containers" slot. The person who brings them becomes a legend.
