More Turkey Tips. When Should I Buy My Turkey?

While the quality and the taste of frozen and fresh turkey are similar, The keeping time is not! A frozen turkey can be bought weeks or a month prior to the holiday, while a fresh bird should be purchased a day or two prior to cooking.

Whenever possible, thaw your frozen turkey in the refrigerator. Count on 5 lbs. thawing each day, so a 15 pound turkey will take three days. Remember to place the turkey in a pan so that any juices won’t drip on other foods. If you don’t have that kind of space or time, thaw your bird in a cold water bath. A 15 pound turkey could take at least 8 hours this way. Please do not thaw poultry by leaving it at room temperature in your sink. This could allow unwanted bacteria a nice holiday home.

To prepare your turkey for roasting, always remove the giblets and the neck from the cavities. There are TWO cavities! Wash your bird in cold running water thoroughly, inside and out, then dry with a clean lint free towel. (Then wash the towel) If you are going to stuff the bird, pack the cavities loosely, as the stuffing will expand during the cooking process.

A Thanksgiving Prayer


When I have food, help me to remember the hungry; When I have work, help me to remember the jobless; When I have a home, help me to remember those who have no home at all; When I am without pain, help me to remember those who suffer,

And remembering, help me to destroy my complacency; bestir my compassion, and be concerned enough to help; By word and deed, those who cry out for what we take for granted.

Have a great holiday from all of us at Chef2Chef.net

Roasted Fall Root Vegetables


Makes 4 to 6 servings


1/2 pound potatoes
1/2 pound sweet potatoes
1/2 pound carrots
1/2 pound beets
1 cup chopped onions
3-4 cloves minced garlic
4 tablespoons Crisco Pure Canola Oil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Heat the oven to 350ºF. Peel and cut the potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and beets into 1/2-inch cubes.

Place them in a large bowl and add the remaining ingredients; add salt and pepper to taste. Toss to mix well.

Place the mixture on a large baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes, until the vegetables can be easily pierced with a fork.
