Enable a MenuItem from a different Thread

I am trying to figure out how to enable a MenuItem from a thread. I use
Control.Invoke to update the text of a label and textbox from the thread.
However, MenuItem does not inherit from Control and does not seem to have an
Invoke/InvokeRequired method. How can I enable a MenuItem from a different
thread?

Use Invoke/InvokeRequired on another control that was created in the UI
Thread context. The Form the menu is on is a good candidate.
