Thanksgiving tunes? Check! Spotify brings back its Turkey Timer playlists - which last JUST the right amount of time it takes to cook your bird

• Spotify will calculate how long your turkey should cook depending on its weight and whether or not it's stuffed
• Users then pick the type of music they are interested in
• The streaming service then serves up a perfectly-timed playlist; when it finishes, it's time to take the bird out of the oven

Spotify's beloved Turkey Timer is back this year with another set of Thanksgiving playlists — that run for exactly the right amount of time it takes to cook your turkey.

The playlist makers over at the music-streaming site know that all turkeys aren't alike: The bigger the bird, the longer it needs to be in the oven. 

So using their handy tool, users need only to select the weight of their turkey and whether it's stuffed or not stuffed, and the app will load up some songs to get you through the cooking. 

The playlists are designed to be used like a timer — so when the songs run out, your turkey is done.

Users select the weight, and whether it's stuffed or not stuffed, and the site will recommend what temperature to cook your turkey at, and how long to let it roast.

Next, pick a genre: R&B, country, oldies, holidays, Latin, or pop.

The site will then spit out an appropriate playlist, each of which has a fun turkey-cooking name.  

The pop list is called Bastin' and includes hits from Ariana Grande and Drake. R&B fans get All the Seasonings for music by Mary J. Blige and Bruno Mars. 

Country lovers get Deep Fried for Luke Bryan and Rascal Flatts tunes, while oldies fans can listen to Fam Faves, which plays everything from Demi Lovato to Aretha Franklin.

Finally, there's the Latin playlist, called Sabor de Sangsgiving, and the holiday playlist, called simply, Holiday Countdown.

Pro tip: Playlists are best left unshuffled—the final track will remind you to take your food out of the oven, as well as call your hungry guests to the dinner table.  

Spotify also recommends playing the playlists unshuffled, since the last track has a reminder to take food out of the oven.

And when all is said and done, there's a 'Stuffed Snooze' playlist, 'to help you nap once the leftovers are put away'.
