The only time I've ever done an entire meal myself was in college, so I'm not an expert by any means.
However, I would suggest making as much as you can ahead of time. Bake your pies the day before. For your dressing, have everything chopped and ready to cook the day before. You can also prepare other sides the day before and just pop them in the oven before the meal.
I've found that the best way to ensure you get a good, juicy, tender turkey is to cook it on an oven bag. You just add your spices for flavor, and you can't go wrong! Just make sure you put it in the fridge to thaw the week before Thanksgiving.
And, above all, enlist your houseguests to help out! Good luck!
