Cooking a turkey...HELP!

Yes, I wrote an article on that a couple of years ago it will tell you everything you know from how to defrost the turkey, to how to cook it, how long to cook it and how heavy of a turkey you should get for how many people. You can find it here. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/345101/how_to_cook_a_turkey.html?cat=6 Instructions on how to Truss a Turkey here: (only if stuffing) http://www.ehow.com/how_5623922_truss-turkey-using-bamboo-skewers.html A good sweet potato recipe: http://www.ehow.com/how_4662842_candy-fresh-sweet-potatoes.html Remember classic Thanksgiving dinners consist of corn, mashed potatoes, gravy, turkey (and possibly ham or another additional meat) stuffing, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, some kind of casserole a lot of people make a green bean casserole and of course pumpkin pie with whipped cream. Then you can add what ever you like in addition to make it your own. Best of luck to you.

I just bake my turkey the old fashion way, clean it out the guts and all that fun stuff, put in homemade stuffing and butter it down, put alumimum foil over it and bake it in the oven for about 4 hours. (depending on size of turkey). I get many of my recipes from my mother, or bettycrocker.com and some other cooking sites. Butterball and just typing in Turkey recipes should give you plenty of recipes. We also have the mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, rolls, and plenty of desserts. Wish you luck and happy holidays.
