Let's Talk Turkey

November 17, 2009 | (0 comment) | Post a Comment

Tom the Turkey is ready for his close-up, so let's make sure you treat him right. Throughout the year, we all cook mashed potatoes, green beans and bake the occasional pie — but handling an unwieldy 20-pound bird is a special, once-a-year endeavor (okay maybe twice). Deciding how to cook your turkey is a big decision: roasting, smoking or barbecuing, even deep-fat frying are all popular techniques on Recipezaar, but most importantly you want to ensure a crispy browned skin on the outside and succulent meat on the inside. Take a tour of all of our members' favorite turkey recipes and tips and we're sure you'll find your winner.
