Nothing says Thanksgiving like turkey, stuffing, and your favorite stars trying to bake a pumpkin pie. And during a year when gratitude is more important than ever, we're happy to take a cue from Mariah Carey, Salma Hayek, and more, who know how to kick off the holiday season in high style. Whether you’re a Turkey Day traditionalist like Eva Longoria, or looking to add a new custom into the mix (we love you, Mindy Kaling), these 15 celebrities remind us we have a lot to be thankful for.

I've finally fought the fight of not 'being enough'. I have only wanted to reflect the love you guys have given me for years and show how important it is to take care of you. By grace through faith. Kindness always wins. I love you guys. God bless."
