Some think leftovers are the best part of a traditional Turkey Dinner. Others have a different opinion (don’t ask about the year we won a very big Turkey from Wegman’s while living many miles away from family to help eat it.)

A family member (who shall remain nameless) argues annually that Thanksgiving Dinner is the easiest meal of the year to prepare. Anyone can cook a Turkey, she asserts. Just pop the bird in the oven and use a meat thermometer to make sure it’s done. While I admire this sort of culinary chutzpa, it’s a view many don’t share.
This point is clear as I read many print and online food sections this week offering information on dining out for the big celebration next week. C’mon! There’s no need to throw in the towel, folks. We’re fortunate to have a wealth of advice at our fingertips to help create a wonderful and memorable Turkey Dinner with minimal stress. To offer you the best tips, gThankYou has poured over pages to pluck the top tips:
Thawing is widely considered the number one issue in preparing a Turkey. So, if you plan to serve a frozen Turkey, The National Turkey Federation advises you thaw it 24 hours for every five pounds of bird weight in the refrigerator. This comes out to 3-4 days thaw time when you do the math for a 16-20 pound Turkey. You can eat out or rely on pre-made meals from your freezer before Thanksgiving while looking forward to cooking Thanksgiving Dinner.

The question came from a younger family member this weekend: “Have we picked our Thanksgiving Turkey yet?” Clearly, Thanksgiving is in the air as the big day approaches in just more than two weeks. It’s not too early to think about what kind of Turkey you’ll serve.
Choices abound. Fresh or frozen? Locally raised or produced nationally? Organic, natural or conventional? Heritage breed or Broad Breasted White? Pre-brined or unbrined bird? And how big does the Turkey need to be to stuff (er, feed) everyone and leave enough leftovers? (Confused yet?)
Luckily, there’s plenty of advice on how to choose the best Turkey to fit your needs. So, along with a sampling of turkey recipes, gThankYou this week offers a cornucopia of advice on choosing your bird.
Inform yourself about what will work best for your celebration and have fun picking your Thanksgiving Turkey!
