There might still be weeks until you need to start defrosting your turkey, making your cranberry sauce, and smashing your cooked potatoes, but Thanksgiving prep calls for more than just getting your ingredients ready. Any good home cook knows how helpful it can be to have the best tools when you're prepping a large dinner, and Thanksgiving might call for more gadgets than any other holiday. Think meat thermometers, basters, can openers, and mashers, and if you don't have any of these items or are missing some in your kitchen, thankfully there's no better time to gather them.

It's already rare enough to find KitchenAid's sought-after tools on sale, so even more surprising to find so many items discounted at Amazon. You'll be able to grab the stainless steel potato masher that reviewers wish they "got a long time ago" for just $12, a four-sided stainless steel box grater with a detachable storage container that's perfect for mac and cheese for just $21, and a mandoline slicer that can shred carrots for carrot cake for $56 (that's a $24 discount).

The brand's ergonomic can opener, a stylish option to open cranberry sauces and canned yams, has more than 18,000 ratings and is only $13 right now, too. But nothing might be as important as KitchenAid's meat thermometer, which is crucial for telling whether your turkey is cooked properly. The tool, which a reviewer said "works great for bigger cuts of meat like a turkey or prime rib roast," is currently just $11.

Other daily kitchen essentials like mixing bowls, digital scales, and baking pans that are bound to come in handy year round are discounted too, so it's all the better to pick them up now while they're on sale. Shop 10 of KitchenAid's Thanksgiving essential tools on sale at Amazon below.
