Here's How Julie Chrisley Whips Up an Epic Thanksgiving Dinner

The Chrisley family of USA's Chrisley Knows Best takes on a new challenge this holiday season: cooking Thanksgiving dinner together. Luckily, they have matriarch Julie Chrisley to help them from start to finish in an upcoming special, Chrisley Knows Thanksgiving.

With the help of a surprise gift, Julie is able to rip Chase, Savannah, Grayson, and Chloe away from making TikToks and into the kitchen. As the star of What's Cooking with Julie Chrisley, Julie is no stranger to whipping together exquisite meals. "Baking has always been a passion of mine, for as long as I can remember," she admits in the special.

Julie reveals some of her personal tips she's perfected throughout the years. Her secret to a crispy turkey? Drying off the skin before adding any seasoning and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees — that's how you know it's done. The mom also recommends adding mayonnaise to your cornbread. "It sounds weird, but after all mayonnaise is really just oil and eggs. It gives it a yummy flavor and keeps it super moist," Julie notes.

Throughout the episode, we watch the Chrisley family prepare mouthwatering Thanksgiving dishes with a southern twist. From sweet potato bites to blackberry cobbler to the impressive Southern spiced turkey, the episode will leave you wishing for an invite to the next Chrisley Thanksgiving. 

Another thing to be thankful for this year: Julie has shared her recipes and tips for all the dishes made in the special. Full recipes can be found on USAnetwork.com. 

Chrisley Knows Thanksgiving is streaming now on Peacock and and available on USA Network Thursday November 25 at 7:30pm ET.
