I'm hosting Thanksgiving in Europe. I have a very small oven and a small refrigerator. What can be cooked ahead and doesn't need refrigeration?
My oven has only one shelf. I am planning on spatchcocking the turkey, making the potatoes on the stove and having only to reheat the stuffing and sweet potatoes in the oven. What else is good to make in such a small space? Can I store my apple pie on the counter for one night?

spiced nuts, roasted veggies, poached fruit (pears, quince), latkes, gingerbread cake or flourless torte, all pies - even pumpkin (even though it's a custard pie, it's far less eggs to solid ration than a crème caramel, etc.), Spanish Tortilla. I agree that a lot depends on the temperature of your kitchen.
I don't believe in refrigerating pies once they've been baked, btw, so I'm glad you won't be tempted to put your pie in the fridge.
