Thanksgiving Day Apps

Here's a collection of Thanksgiving Day apps to make your holiday easier and more festive. I've tried to put together a list that covers a little bit of everything - from Thanksgiving wallpaper, to apps that help you cook a turkey and give recipes for leftovers, to making your phone gobble like a turkey. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!

BigOven (free)

BigOven is another recipe app like Epicurious that lets you search for recipes, look up cooking terms, and put together grocery lists from recipes. The great thing that sets it apart from the others though is the BigOven Leftover Wizard(tm). Just enter up to 3 ingredients and it will spit out all the recipes that use these ingredients.
