Welcome to start cooking a thanksgiving turkey!

The thought of cooking Thanksgiving dinner can be a bit intimidating, but with just a bit of advance planning you can definitely pull it off. Roasting a thanksgiving turkey is very similar to roasting a chicken. The USDA's Fact Sheet on Poultry Preparation is an excellent resource. It includes information on buying, defrosting, cooking, storing, and an emergency hot-line to call for advice as well!

The following questions are guaranteed to make hosting your Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner a huge success:

1. What kind of Thanksgiving turkey should you buy - fresh, frozen, whole, or just the breast?
2. What size should I buy?
3. What's that stuff already inside my turkey and do I eat it?
4. What kind of pan do I need to cook the turkey and for how long?
5. Is making stove-top stuffing cheating or should I stuff the turkey?
6. Now that the Thanksgiving turkey is cooked, how do I carve it?
7. Is turkey healthy and why am I so tired after eating it?
8. Is there a turkey hot-line for emergency questions?
9. What kind of side dishes do I need and how about some dessert?
10. What do I do with all those turkey leftover?
