    Turkey 101: How To Guide To Thanksgiving Dinner Success, Plus The Perfect Roast Turkey Recipe

    open-uri20141120-153-1srm6bf 
    A great thought-provoking way to connect with your guest at your Thanksgiving get together. Instead of using the usual placemats; reuse a paper bag cut to the size of a placemat. Have your guest jot down what their thankful for and share.

    One: Choose the size.

    Allow 1-2 pounds per adult for turkeys over 12 pounds.

    Two: Thawing the Turkey.

    Allow 24 hours in the refrigerator for every 5 pounds of turkey, so a 15 pound turkey will take 3 to 4 days to thaw. You can also thaw the turkey under cold running water, not warm, changing the water every 30 minutes and allowing 30 minutes per pound to thaw.

    Three: Cleaning the Turkey.

    Don’t rinse the turkey because bacteria can spread around the kitchen. Instead, thoroughly pat dry the turkey with paper towels. Don’t forget to remove the gizzard packet before stuffing the turkey.

    Four: Stuffing the Turkey.

    Never stuff your turkey ahead of time. It should be stuffed when it's ready to go into the oven the stuffing should be spooned light lean into the turkey’s body cavity and neck cavity. Do not packet they internal temperature of the turkey must reach 165°F and if the stuffing is too lightly pat the interior won’t get hot enough.

    Five: Carving the Turkey.

    • Step one: Place the turkey on a large cutting board.
    • Step two: Remove the leg portion by pulling the drumstick away from the body and cutting the joints between the thighs and the body.
    • Step Three: Half the turkey by slicing down the middle and carving the breast away from the breast bone and the rib cage.
    • Step four: Slice breast half in half pieces across the grain, if desired cut the wings off by cutting at the joints.

    Guide to Picking Apples - How to Pick an Apple Properly 
    Source: Fix.com

    The crunch of fallen leaves, muted blooms of mums, and flickering lights of carved jack-o-lanterns are all autumn mainstays. The abundance of apples is also another welcome sign of fall. Although apples are available year-round, most of the apple crop matures during late summer and early fall. That’s when you’ll find a wider range of varieties to choose from at the grocery store, as well as pick-your-own orchards that offer the ability to sample (and take home) as many fresh apples as you like.
