Martha Stewartmay be the queen ofThanksgiving, but this year, she’s taking a break.
The lifestyle mogul revealed on Thursday’s episode ofThe Kelly Clarkson Showthat she has canceled her plans to host a Turkey Day meal and will instead be visiting different friends' homes for the upcoming holiday.
“Igave up Thanksgiving. I canceled,” said Stewart, 82. “Nine guests canceled because somebody got sick. So … I called up my chef friend and I said, ‘We’re not doing Thanksgiving.’ "

HostKelly Clarksonasked on her show whether Stewart was “all turkeyed out,” to which the latter agreed, “I am turkeyed out.”
However, this doesn’t mean that the lifestyle guru won’t be getting some delicious meals in. She noted that she’ll be on the go this Thanksgiving, hopping from home to home to taste test food.
“I made a plan,” Stewart shared. “Friends, of course, invited me to their home, so I’m going to about five different homes to taste different courses.”
Clarkson, 41, noted that “those friendsmust be so stressed out,” to which her guest responded playfully with a laugh, “Oh, I hope so.”
“If you were coming to my house, I would for sure lie and say I cooked it and have somebody else do it,” the host joked.
