Confirming the news on Today at the time, Al revealed: "We're going to take Thanksgiving dinner and deconstruct it. Each week, or each episode, we're going to have a different part of the Thanksgiving meal. From stuffing to pies to turkey to all the side dishes."
Al isn't alone in his venture as he is joined each week by culinary experts including Ina Garten, Marcus Samuelsson, and Alexander Smalls, who all share their Thanksgiving tips, recipes, and stories behind their favourite dishes.

Fans can rest assured that Al's Thanksgiving recipes will be easy to follow as he has admitted in the past that he is not a fan of labor-intensive dishes.
"The recipes don't have a lot of ingredients, and they don't require fancy techniques, just basic cooking skills," he explained. "This keeps them fun and accessible. If it's a chore, then it's boring."
Of course, Al is no stranger to sharing his love of cooking. He has released two cookbooks and often hosts cooking segments on Today.
