(CNN) - Are you going to take a plane to go to your family's Thanksgiving dinner? Do not worry, you can collaborate with dinner dishes depending on how much you can take.
From turkey and stews to mashed potatoes, here is a useful guide detailing the items approved by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to take on board or pack in the hold.
Can I bring my turkey or ham?
Yes! You can carry it in your cellar suitcase or in your carry-on luggage. However, it would be smart to cut the bird or ham and put it in a storage container in advance. You could avoid an awkward conversation with the TSA.
I carry the baked goods! Can I travel with them?
If you were in charge of baking a cake, cookies or getting the buns, all that is allowed on the plane. All sugary generosity can be carried in your hand luggage. Again, it is a good idea to put it in an airtight container so that it arrives at the dessert table in good condition.

What about the bean casserole?
All of you, casserole, stuffing and vegetable people, can also enter the main cabin. It may not look as good as when you took it out of the oven, but it is allowed on board.
What if I want to make my fresh potatoes?
If you want to delay the maceration until you reach your destination, pack the potatoes! Raw potatoes can fly in your hand luggage. Once they are crushed, the TSA remembers that "they are not exactly what one would define as solid."
What can't go in my hand luggage?
The more liquid Thanksgiving items are welcome on the plane, but they will have to travel in the hold.
Sauce, cranberry sauce and even wine are allowed in your checked luggage.
Follow the general rule that if it involves more liquid than solid, you need to go in the hold.

So what is NOT allowed?
It is probably best to leave your knife set at home.
No matter where you place your Christmas treats, again, the TSA recommends storing items in tightly closed plastic containers. Nothing is worse than the idea of arriving at your destination and that the sauce has spread throughout the suitcase.
