It is Friday, and Fridays are for fun. Next week, we celebrate Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday. There is always something to be thankful for.
If you are hosting Thanksgiving this year and if you are planning on turkey, make sure you start thawing it on Sunday, or if it is a small turkey on Monday.
Did you know that you can cook a turkey without thawing it out? Just put it in the oven at 350 degrees. Put a foil tent over the breast. It will take much longer to cook a frozen turkey which is why it is a good idea to thaw it first.
I used to buy fresh turkeys every year until the year I messed up and ended up with a frozen turkey. I can’t believe I am saying this but the frozen birds are better tasting and moist if properly cooked and allowed to sit for a half hour or so before carving. The Butterball website has tons of information about cooking turkey. Cooking a turkey is pretty easy.
Also, there is still time to sharpen the carving knives. Consult YouTube for sharpening tips. YouTube is a much better source of information than a Realtors blog.
